Answer: The number 99.4177 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 99.42.

Explanation:

Here's how I got my answer:

Since you need to round to the nearest hundredth, then round to the first two decimal places. So if the number is 5 or greater, then round up. If the number is 4 or lesser, then do not round up.

In this scenario:

99.4177

Round the 1 in the hundredths place up to 2, because 7 is on the greater end. Since they are just asking you for the hundredths place, then do not round anything else.

Hence, your final answer is 99.42.
