Answer 1

$9.12
because when rounding to the nearest tenth you look at the number from it’s right and it determines if it’s going to be $9.12 or $9.13 if the number on the right is 5 or more than it would be $9.13 but because it’s three, below 5, its $9.12

Answer 2

$9.12

Explanation:

Decimal places are:

0.0 --> Tenths

0.00 --> Hundredths

0.000 --> Thousandths

etc.

Therefore we need to round the decimal to 2 decimal places...

9.123 --> 9.12 (The number rounds down if the number after it is between 1 and 4 and it rounds up if the number after it is between 5 and 9. In this scenario the number after it is "3" therefore it rounds down)
