324,274   The four that is in bold print is in the thousands place.  To round, look at the number in the next LOWER place value.  In this case, the 2 in bold, which is in the hundreds place.  The rule for rounding that I learned and taught is:
For 0-4, do not change the place value where you are rounding. Since 2 IS between 0-4, you would write the rounded number: 324,000.  
For 5-9, increase the number in the place value where you are rounding by 1.  If the number your were rounding to the nearest thousand were 324,610, you would round UP to 325,000.  
Knowing what the place value of numbers is really will help solve these problems quickly.

Your clue is a question. Do you know how to read the number?

Clue: three hundred twenty four thousand, two hundred seventy four.

Where is the thousand? Do you know how to round up? 

Clue: 25 

**See Tommy's comment, he got the answer. Jhharland apparently just wanted to verify it.
