insa · Answer

when u round it, it will become $1 right?

anonymous · Answer

I don't really remember how to round, can you show me how please.. @insa

insa · Answer

yeah sure

insa · Answer

when the next number is 5 or more than that, u round up the number behind it but if it is less than 5 u leave the number behind it as it is

insa · Answer

if its like 0.125, when u round it to two decimal place it will become 0.12 as the last number is 5 due to which it rounds up

insa · Answer

however if its like 0.124, when rounded to two decimal place it will be 0.12

insa · Answer

anonymous · Answer

so here we have 0.995 
we round the 5 to the 9?

insa · Answer

0.995 cents right? so it will be $1 when rounded up but as the question says round to nearest penny we'll take it as ).9 cents. that is what i understood
