Question

Round $35.493 to the nearest cent. (Include the units.)

Answer 1

A rounded answer of $35.493 to the nearest cent would be $35.49.

Since the number in the thousandth place (digit 3 places to the left of the decimal)  is below 5, you would round down. If the number that needed to be rounded was $35.497, it would be rounded up to $35.50 since the number in the thousandth place is above 5.
