Rounding to the Nearest Cent Formula

1. Identify the hundredths place (second decimal place).
2. Look at the digit in the thousandths place (third decimal place).
3. If the thousandths digit is 5 or greater, round up the hundredths digit.
4. If the thousandths digit is less than 5, keep the hundredths digit the same.
5. Drop all digits beyond the hundredths place.

Examples:

1. $23.456
   • Thousandths digit (6) is greater than 5
   • Round up: $23.46
2. $45.673
   • Thousandths digit (3) is less than 5
   • Keep hundredths the same: $45.67
3. $67.895
   • Thousandths digit (5) is exactly 5
   • Round up: $67.90

How do you round to the nearest cent?

Rounding to the nearest cent involves a simple process:

1. Identify the cent value (the first two decimal places).
2. Look at the third decimal place.
3. Round up if the third decimal is 5 or greater.
4. Round down (or keep the same) if the third decimal is 4 or less.
5. Remove all decimal places beyond the second.

For example, with $12.347:

1. Cent value is 34
2. Third decimal is 7
3. 7 is greater than 5, so round up
4. Result: $12.35

What is 41% of 61.04 rounded to the nearest cent?

To solve this, we’ll first calculate 41% of 61.04, then round the result:

1. 41% of 61.04 = 0.41 × 61.04 = 25.0264
2. Now we round 25.0264 to the nearest cent:
   • The cent value is 02
   • The third decimal is 6
   • 6 is greater than 5, so we round up

4. Drop all digits after the second decimal place.

For instance:

• $3.454 rounds to $3.45 (fourth digit is 4, so no change)
• $3.455 rounds to $3.46 (fifth digit is 5, so round up)
• $3.456 rounds to $3.46 (sixth digit is 6, so round up)
