Rounding to the Nearest Cents

Introduction to rounding to the nearest cents:

This article is used to discuss about rounding to the nearest cents.  When we round nearest to cents, we have to consider the third digit after the decimal point. For example if you have the value of  `$` 1.1487 and if we want to round to the nearest cent we can take the third digit after the decimal point. that is 8, so the result is `$` 1.15. Let we see some problems for rounding to the nearest cents. I like to share this Rounding Decimals with you all through my article.

Example Problems for Rounding to the Nearest Cents.

Problem 1:

Round the given value to the nearest cents, $4.7846

Solution:

Here we need to round to the nearest cents

Here we have dollar as =4 and cents as .7846

If we round to the nearest cents, we get

Step1) take the third value after the decimal point,

Step2) we have the third value is 4, here the number 4 is less than 5. so the place value will not change

Step3) The round off value is $4.78

Problem 2:

Round the given value to the nearest cents, $ 0.168

Solution:

Here we need to round to the nearest cents

Here we have dollar as =4 and cents as .168

If we round to the nearest cents, we get

Step1) take the third value after the decimal point,

Step2) we have the third value is 0, here the number 8 is greater  than 5. so the place value will  change to the next value as 7.

Step3) The round off value is $0.17

Problem 3:

Round the given value to the nearest cents, $ 25.567

Solution:

Here we need to round to the nearest cents

Here we have dollar as =4 and cents as .567

If we round to the nearest cents, we get

Step1) take the third value after the decimal point,

Step2) we have the third value is 25, here the number 7 is greater  than 5. so the place value will  change to the next higher value as 7.

Step3) The round off value is $25.57
