[b][color=#ff0000]Compensative Law[/color][/b][br]If you round off a number by adding or subtracting a number and then compensate by adding or subtracting the opposite of that number without changing the result, the sum has compensative properties. [br][color=#0000ff][b]Example:[/b][/color] 367 + 154[br] = 367 + 3 + 154 - 3[br](round the first number off to nearest 100 and compensate by subtracting 3 to the second number).[br] = 370 + 151[br] = 521[br][b][color=#0000ff]Example (careful with subtraction): [/color][/b] 356 – 247[br] = 356 + 3 - 247 - 3[br](round the second number off to nearest 100 and compensate by adding 3 to the first number).[br] = 359 - 250[br] = 109 [br][b][color=#ff0000]Addition and subtraction are both compensative[/color][/b]
