[R] Is there a way to round numbers up or down to the nearest "natural looking" number?

Hi all,
Given the following series of numbers:
> t
[1] 21.85000 30.90410 43.71000 61.82234 87.43999 123.67296
[7] 174.91997 247.40249 349.91996 494.91815 700.00000
What's the simplest way of formatting them into the nearest "natural
looking" (rounded to nearest multiple of 10) numbers?
So:
t[1] becomes 20
t[2] becomes 30
t[3] becomes 40
t[4] becomes 60
t[5] becomes 90
t[6] becomes 120, etc ?
Thus far I've tried signif(t,2) but that's not working great..
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
George.
