make the 2nd decimal place a '0' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 25 through 74, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '5' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 75 through 99, then
increase the 1st decimal place by 1, make the 2nd decimal place a '0',
