n the U.S., we represent money values with dollars and cents. There are 100 cents in a dollar. Amounts of money are represented with at most two decimal places (Ex: $4.25). Gas prices are often shown to have more than two decimal places. A gallon of gas costs $3.3842 at Buc-ee's in Daytona Beach, Florida. Use this gas price to round the gas price to the nearest cent (hint: the nearest cent is the hundredths place). (1 point)
To round the gas price to the nearest cent, we need to look at the hundredths place:
The hundredths place in $3.3842 is 4.
Since the hundredths place is less than 5, we round down to the nearest cent.
Therefore, the gas price rounded to the nearest cent is $3.38.
To round the gas price to the nearest cent, we need to look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is the fourth decimal place.
If the digit in the thousandths place is 5 or greater, we round up by increasing the hundredths place by 1.
If the digit in the thousandths place is 4 or less, we round down by keeping the hundredths place as it is.
In this case, the digit in the thousandths place is 8, which is greater than 5. Therefore, we need to round up.
So, the rounded gas price to the nearest cent is $3.38.
To round the gas price to the nearest cent, you need to look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is the third decimal place.
In this case, the given gas price is $3.3842. The digit in the hundredths place is 4.
To round a number to the nearest cent, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the hundredths place. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up. If it is less than 5, you round down.
In this case, the digit immediately to the right of 4 is 2, which is less than 5. Therefore, you round down.
So the rounded gas price to the nearest cent is $3.38.
