If you're rounding to the nearest tenth: The answer is 208.4.

**Remember: If the following number is 5 or higher, the previous number rounds up. If the following number is 4 or less, the previous number remains the same.


16.34 rounds to 16.3 since 4 is less than 5.

59.908 rounds to 59.9 since 0 is less than 5.

132.15 rounds to 132.2 since the following number is 5.

16.3+59.9+132.2=208.4


If you're rounding to the nearest whole number:

16.34 rounds to 16, since 3 is less than 5.

59.908 rounds to 60, since 9 is greater than 5.

132.15 rounds to 132, since 1 is less than 5.

16+60+132=208
