Question

A checking account rounds the amount of money deposited to the nearest hundredths place. After tax returns on April 15th, Yuan earned exactly $336.3457 in returns. How much money was deposited into the checking account?

Answer 1

`\boxed{\text{\$336.35}}`

Explanation:

Yuan earned $336.3457.

You are asked to round this number to the nearest hundredth, that is, so there are only two digits after the decimal.

$336.34|57

A rule in rounding numbers is: if the first figure to be dropped is 5 with any nonzero digits following it, then the last figure kept should be rounded up (increased by 1).

The number becomes $336.35.

`\boxed{\large \textbf{\$336.35}} \text{ was placed in Yuan's checking account}`
