What is 45.4832 rounded to the nearest cent?

Question

This is a math question that i need help with.

Answer 1

Is the 42 the dollars, or is it the cents? Because that will modify the answer.

If it's the former, then we have $42.4832 and need to look at the thousandths place. Three is less than five, so it would round down to $42.48

 

If, on the other hand, what we have is 42.4832¢, then we need to round at the tenths place. Four is less than five, so it would round down still, but to give us 42¢ instead.
