Question

Marcus is trying to calculate the price of a pound of candy. He is doing calculations on his calculator and comes on with $2.348 per pound. How much is Marcus going to pay per pound? How is rounding applied in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Price per pound is $2.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest unit of this currency is the cent  which is one hundredth of a dollar so the price is rounded to the nearest hundredth ( that is the second place of decimals).

As the third place of decimals is 8 we round up the second place so the price per pound is $2.35.

Answer 2

Price per pound $2.35. you have to round because money can not be in 3 decimal points
