When a question asks you to give your answer to the nearest whole number, it means that you should round your answer to the nearest whole number or integer. In the case of your example, which is 67.38, you would round it to the nearest whole number.
To round to the nearest whole number, look at the decimal part. If the decimal part is 0.5 or greater, you round up to the next higher whole number. If the decimal part is less than 0.5, you round down to the previous lower whole number.
In the case of 67.38, the decimal part is 0.38, which is less than 0.5. Therefore, you would round down to the previous lower whole number, which is 67. So, in this case, you would put 67 as your answer.
