It should be rounded up not down.

Explanation:

It should be rounded up not down. For example, if sweets are available in packages of #10#, rounding to nearest #10# may mean rounding #43# to #40#, but while distributing one will find it short by #3#.

Hence, better rounding up to ensure every body gets it.
