Assuming we're after the exact answer, we can just worry about the fractional parts


0.2 * 0.3 * 0.6 = 0.06 * .6 = 0.036

Three decimal places, second choice

The multiplication will have a result with a number of decimal places equal to the sum of the numbers of decimal places in the factors: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.

... 4.2 × 12.3 × 14.6 = 754.236

However, since this is a cost, it will be rounded to 2 decimal places.

The cost will be $754.24. . . . . . Paul's final answer
