Find the sums and then round the answers to the nearest 5 cents
$2.43+$7.85= $10.28 how do I round to the nearest 5 cents
Think of counting by 5's. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on. *Pretty sure, first time I'm answering on here.* (:
so $10.30
Yes. 10.30
I would think so.
To round the sum to the nearest 5 cents, follow these steps:
1. Identify the hundredth digit, which is the second digit to the right of the decimal point. In this case, it is 8 in 10.28.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the hundredth digit. If it is less than 5, you round down. If it is 5 or greater, you round up.
3. In this case, the digit to the right of the hundredth digit is 2. Since 2 is less than 5, you round down.
4. Replace all the digits to the right of the hundredth digit with zeros.
5. The rounded sum is $10.25.
So, by rounding the sum $10.28 to the nearest 5 cents, you get $10.25.
