Rounding Off Numbers

Rounding off refers to making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was. The rounded number has about similar value as the original number but less precise.

Rules for Rounding Numbers

• Look for the rounding digit. Look at the digit to its right. If the digit to its right is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round up. Add 1 to the rounding digit.

• Look for the rounding digit. Look at the digit to its right. If the digit to its right is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round down. The rounding number stays the same.

Going back to the given above, let us now round off using the rules.

"Mr. Carlos bought a T-shirt for 254.95. Round this off to the nearest peso."

• The rounding digit is the nearest peso and that is the digit 4.

• The digit on its right is 9. Thus, we have to round up or add 1 to the rounding digit. (4 + 1 = 5)

• Therefore, 254.95 rounded to the nearest peso is 255.00.
