Question #cfc53

Answer 1

`6` if the original is already in cents.
`$6.34` if the original was supposed to be in dollars.

Explanation:

The general rounding rule is to ALWAYS start with the digit just to the right of the desired final number. If 6.3425 is in cents already, then we start at the '3' - ignoring anything after it - and round down, to the result is '6'.

IF the number was supposed to be in dollars - `$6.3425` - then the "cents" place is the '4', and the rounding determination would then start at the '2'. Again, that is less and 5, so the rounding would be down to a result of `$6.34`.

Answer 2

Look at the digit in the thousandth place. If this number is 5 or more round up. If this number is 4 or less leave the value of the hundredths digit the same.

Explanation:

6.3425. The digit in the thousandths place is 2. This number is closer to 6.340 than it is to 6.350. Because it is closer to 6.340 the zero is dropped and the hundredth digit remains 4. The answer is

6.34
