43.3

Explanation:

When rounding a decimal to the nearest 1/10, you round to the tenths place, or to the digit just to the right of the decimal place.

In this case, that digit is 2. In order to figure out whether to round up or down, you must look to the right. The next digit to the right is 5, and since 5 is greater than 4, you round up. The 2 in the tenths place becomes a 3, and everything to the right of that becomes zero, which are unnecessary, as they are merely place holders.

Therefore, 43.25 rounded to the nearest 1/10 is 43.3.
