How do you round 203.86884 to 2 decimal place?

Answer 1

#203.87#

This is because when you are rounding to a certain decimal place you look at the number after it. In this case the third decimal place.

So in this case that is #8# because it is after the #6#.

If that number is above #4# you round up, so #6# becomes #7#

However if that number is #4# or below, then it stays #6#
