How do you round it by a whole number?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

What did you get once you divided that?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

To round decimals to a whole number, if the decimal is .01-.49, you round down, for example, 97.36 rounds to 97. If the decimal is .50-.99 you round up, for example, 78.93 rounds to 79.
