$100, 000$ $100,000$

Explanation:

Look at the ten thousand's part of 98,464.

So the cut off point is $9 ∣ 8464$ $" "9 color(magenta)(|)8464$
$. ↑$ $" "color(white)(.)color(red)(uarr)$
$Cut off point$ $" "color(red)("Cut off point")$

The digit to the right of the cut off point is greater than 5 so we round up the $9$ $color(red)(9)$ by 1 turning it into $10$ $color(blue)(10)$ . The digits to the right of the cut off point are all changed to 0 giving:

$ten thousands$ $" ten thousands"$
$↓$ $" " darr$
$10 . 98, 464 \leftarrow original number$ $color(white)(10.)color(red)(9)8,464 larr" original number"$
$. . 100, 000 \leftarrow rounded number$ $color(white)(..)color(blue)(10)0,000 larr" rounded number"$
