Round to nearest 10:
761 → 760 (ones digit 1 < 5)
408 → 410 (ones digit 8 ≥ 5)
635 → 640 (ones digit 5 rounds up)
Round to nearest 100:
174 → 200 (tens digit 7 ≥ 5)
550 → 600 (tens digit 5 rounds up)

Step 1: Total Apples Taken
235 + 148 = 383 apples
(Alt: 520 − 235 = 285 apples left after farm stand)
Step 2: Remaining Apples
520 − 383 = 137 apples
(Alt: 285 − 148 = 137 apples left)
Correct Final Answer: 137 apples left
Two Valid Problem Paths: Accept either method: adding both deductions together first (235 + 148 = 383, then 520 − 383) OR subtracting sequentially (520 − 235 = 285, then 285 − 148 = 137). Both demonstrate mathematical mastery.
