Answer 1

A "cent" is in the hundredths position.

This number is already rounded to the nearest cent: `24.95`

Answer 2

It depends on what the units of the value `24.95` are....

`$24.95" or " 25c`

Explanation:

It depends on what the units of the value `24.95` are....

If the units are `$`, then the two decimal places represent cents and the number is already written to the nearest cent.`" "$24.95`

However, if the unit is cents, then we know we have`24` cents and a fraction of a cent.

TO round off to units, you look only at the digit in the first decimal place. If it is `4` or less, the unit stays the same.
If if it `5` or more, the digit in the units place increases by `1`
IN this case it is `9`

`24.95c" "rarr 25c`
