Answer:

78.99

Explanation:

Rounding to the 2nd decimal place the number 78.987625


Write down everything upto and including the 2nd decimal: 78.98


Check out the next digit. If >= 5, then increase the 2nd decimal digit above by 1, if not leave it as is.

For 78.987625 the digit next to the 2 decimal digit is 7 so we increase 78.98 to 78.99
