In your explanation, use the number 18,354 as an example to clearly identify: 1) which digit is the 'rounding digit,' 2) which digit is used to determine whether to round up, 3) the specific rule applied to that deciding digit, and 4) what happens to the digits in the tens and ones places once the rounding is complete.
