The answer is option b) 782.59
Step-by-step explanation:
- For rounding a decimal to two decimal places, write the number along with first two numbers after the decimal point.
- look for the third digit after the decimal point, whether the number is greater than 5 (or) less than 5.
- If the third number is greater than 5, then add 1 to the previous number
- If the third number is less than 5, then keep the previous digit as it.
Step 1 :
The number is 782.5894
write up to two numbers after the decimal point and omit the remaining numbers.
The number is 782.58
Step 2 :
Now, look the third number after the decimal point is 9 (greater than 5)
So add 1 to the previous number (8+1 =9), the number becomes 782.59
∴ The number rounded to two decimal places is 782.59
