Let’s first round the two given numbers to the nearest hundred:

1. **154**: 
   - The digit in the tens place is 5, which means we round **up**.
   - 154 rounds to **200**.

2. **145**:
   - The digit in the tens place is 4, which means we round **down**.
   - 145 rounds to **100**.

Now, we compare the rounded numbers:

- **200** (rounded from 154) 
- **100** (rounded from 145)

So, **200 > 100**.

The correct comparison is:
\[
200 > 100
\]
