1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to identify the number closest to 500 from the given set of numbers: 411, 499, 502, 555, and

4

5

5.

2. Solution Steps

To find the number closest to 500, we need to determine the absolute difference between each number and

5

0

0. The number with the smallest absolute difference is the closest.

- |411 - 500| = |-89| = 89

- |499 - 500| = |-1| = 1

- |502 - 500| = |2| = 2

- |555 - 500| = |55| = 55

- |455 - 500| = |-45| = 45

Comparing the absolute differences, we have:

89, 1, 2, 55, and

4

5. The smallest difference is 1, which corresponds to the number

3. Final Answer

499
