I have a problem which has to be answered using two significant figures from the solution value. My solution value is
x = 303.385789245434541
What should my answer be?
Thanks

Answering just $300$ is perfectly fine in some contexts, but then it's not clear if the number of significant figures is one, two or three.
If you want to be explicit about the number of significant figures, you could either answer $3.0\cdot10^2$, or add the information in words, e.g. "$300$ (two significant figures)".
A 2 sig fig answer is 3.0 x 10^2
