==============================

Explanation:

The hundredth decimal place is two spots to the right of the decimal

For instance, the digit 5 is in the hundredths place for 7.3547

Since the next digit over is not 5 or larger, this means we just keep 7.35 and ignore everything else. We don't round up.

Something like 1.1295 becomes 1.12 after we drop everything after the '2', but we round up to 1.13 because of that 9 being five or larger.

The other 8 problems are handled in a similar fashion.
