The correct option is up, 20
We round up the number, that is, we round it off to the next 10 that comes after the number, to the nearest one because the digit at the ones position of 15 equals 5.
We round numbers up to the closest 10 if the ones digit is larger than or equal to five.
Let’s look at an example.
Between 10 and 20, 15 is located. Since 15 has a one digit of 5, 20 will be rounded up to that number.
