Math Problem Statement

round to the nearest cent

Solution

To round to the nearest cent, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the value in the hundredths place (second digit to the right of the decimal). This is the current "cents" value.
  2. Look at the digit in the thousandths place (third digit to the right of the decimal).
    • If this digit is 5 or higher, increase the hundredths place by 1.
    • If it is 4 or lower, leave the hundredths place as it is.
  3. Remove all digits beyond the hundredths place after rounding.
