First, identify which number is in the hundreds place. The hundreds place is 3 places to the left of the decimal. In this case, 3 is in the hundreds place.
If the numbers to the right of the 3 are 50 or more, then we will round it up to 4. If they are less than 50, we will leave the 3 the same. Here, we have 42, so the 3 will remain the same. The two numbers to the right become zeroes.
We round 342 down to 300. The 2 in the thousands place remains the same.

The correct answer is 841. We start in the ones column on the far right and add 6 and 5. This is 11 so we have to carry the tens digit (1) to the next column and being the ones digit (also a 1) down. Adding the tens column we get

so once again we carry the 1 and bring the 4 down. Next we add the hundreds column which

which we bring down. Thus the final answer is 841.
