When i am rounded to the nearest tens I am 1,000. I am the same when read forward or backward, I can be two different numbers. Who am I?

999

1,001

Tks, Ms. SUE!

You're welcome, Sam/Ethan.

To find out who you are, let's break down the given information.

When you are rounded to the nearest tens, you are 1,000. This means your actual value falls between 995 and 1,004. Being rounded to 1,000 indicates that you are closer to 995 than 1,004 on the number line.

Now, you are the same when read forward or backward. This implies that you are a palindromic number. A palindromic number reads the same from left to right as it does from right to left.

Since you are rounded to 1,000 when rounded to the nearest tens and you are a palindromic number, there are two possibilities to consider:

Option 1: 995
Option 2: 1,004

Therefore, you can be either 995 or 1,004.
