Kenji has 2500 Japanese yen. If 1 U.S. dollar equals 90.39 Japanese yen, how many dollars can Kenji buy for his yen?

JamesTDG:

All you have to do is solve 2500/90.39

jkmiec26:

Once you do that what do u get?

jkmiec26:

You will have to round. What does your teacher make you round to?

shawnareynolds:

It doesn't tell me

JamesTDG:

I'd say round to the nearest 0.01 (since we can track US dollars only as small as 0.01)

jkmiec26:

What did u get?

shawnareynolds:

So would it be 27.70?

jkmiec26:

No

jkmiec26:

You would want to round one more term.

JamesTDG:

you rounded to the nearest 0.1, not the nearest 0.01

jkmiec26:

So you get 27.657. What would u round that too?

shawnareynolds:

28?

jkmiec26:

No you want to round to the nearest hundredth

JamesTDG:

That's the nearest whole number, NOT the nearest 0.01

shawnareynolds:

I'm not sure then i wasn't really taught this

jkmiec26:

Well you rounded to the nearest tenth, u need to round to the nearest hundredth

JamesTDG:

rounding to the nearest 0.01: 27.657 =~ 27.66
