It's kinda difficult to say

Explanation:

Since we do not know how many decimals you used in your calculation to get 0.0505 we can't say how many decimals we should round it to.

Example:
Round of the number of the solution to following addition:
#4,562 + 3.2 = 7,762#
Here the answer would be #7,8#.

The rule is, you have to round off to the same amount of decimals as the one used in the calculation with the lowest amount of decimals.
So since #3.2# only have 2 decimals and #4,562# have 4 decimals, the answer should only have 2 decimals.
