If 500 is the multiple of 100 that is closest to X and 400 is the multiple of 100 that is closest to Y, which multiple of 100 is closest to X +Y ?
1). X is less than 500
2). Y is less than 400

1). X is less than 500
then x can be between 450 & 499
now y can be between 350 & 449
so x+y can be between 800 & 948 hence multiples possible are 800 ,900

2). Y is less than 400
y can be between 350 -399
x can be between 450 - 549
again x+y can have 800, 900 as closest multiples
combine:
x can be between 450 & 499
y can be between 350 -399
x+y is bewteen 800 & 898
again we have 800 & 900 as possibilitties
