Answer:

  • 12,963.00 (in the US)
  • 12,96 (some other places)

Explanation:

In the US, a decimal point is represented by a period. This value is interpreted as an integer with no fractional part, so the fractional part is zero:

12,963.00

__

Some other places, a comma is used to identify the beginning of the decimal fraction. In that form, this number has a fractional part that has 3 as its thousandths digit. The value of 3 is less than 5, so the number is simply truncated at the hundredths place.

12,96

If the thousandths digit were 5 or greater, then 1 hundredth would be added to the truncated number.
