The correct answer depends on what is known about the number 2610.
If it is known to be correct to 3 significant figures, the correct answer is 2620.
If it is known to be correct to 4 significant figures, the correct answer is 2622.
If all the numbers are known to be accurate to at least 2 decimal places then the correct answer is 2621.92
This will not be a whole number. Also it will not easily be decimal as it would be hard to correct this without rounding up or down
The answer to an addition question should have no more decimal places than the smallest number of decimal places in the numbers being added. When rounding numbers, numbers 5 though 9 will be rounded up and 1 through 4 will be rounded down.
0.7
5.8
Any zeros added to the end of a number AFTER the decimal point do not change the value of the number. Thus: 2.6 = 2.60 = 2.600 = 2.6000 = 2.60000 etc.
Two decimal places.
There is a button entitled "increase decimal". Its location depends on the version of Excel you are using.First you must select the cell/s you wish to alter and then press the "increase decimal" button.In Excel 2003 it is on the Formatting toolbar. It has the appearance of a small blue arrow, pointing left and is followed by a decimal point and single zero, overlying a decimal point and a double zero and looks roughly like the following:← .0.00In Excel 2007 the button can be found in the following location: On the Home tab, in the Number group.Please see related links.
An equivalent decimal is the same exact number with added decimal places. For example:Find the equivalent decimal of: 0.5Equivalent decimals of this number would include:0.500.5000.5000As long as the value of the number remains the same, it is an equivalent decimal. Basically, you are adding zeroes after the number.
You can choose how many you want. The standard settings have no decimal places or two decimal places.
When you are multiplying two numbers with decimals, it's easy to do.First, multiply the numbers as if there were not decimals there:~5.8x8.7____~406464_____5046... then, count the number of places for the decimal points, and add them together. 5.8 = 1 decimal place, 8.7 = 1 decimal place, the two added together are 2 decimal places. So your answer, 5046 needs to have two decimal places; or 50.46(I'm sorry, I had to use a ~ to keep spacing correct... I'm having problems pushing a nbsp into the code... lol)
124.00 is really just 124 with a couple of empty decimal places added. 1240 is a bigger number than 124 (or 124.00).
only one zero can be added using a decimal
This will not be a whole number. Also it will not easily be decimal as it would be hard to correct this without rounding up or down
Yes.

In calculating sales tax. Sales tax is rarely given as a whole number and is more often several decimal places long (e.g., 8.325%). Since any calculation performed with such a number is likely to have at least as many decimal places, the tax is rounded UP and added to the original total.
The important thing to consider is the decimal point.What happens to the position (place value) of the digits of the original number when you add a zero onto the end (of a whole number)?Consider the number 123; where is the decimal point?It is "hiding" at the end after the 3 (it is 123.), thus:the 1 is three places to the left of it and so is worth 100the 2 is two places to the left of it and so is worth 20the 3 is immediately to the left of it and is worth 3Once a '0' is added, the number becomes 1230; again where is the decimal point?It is now "hiding" at the end after the added 0 (it is now 1230.), thus:the 1 is now four places to the left of it and so is now worth 1000the 2 is now three places to the left of it and so is now worth 200the 3 is now two places to the left of it and so is now worth 30So, you can see that in "adding the zero to the end" each of the digits have been moved one place (value column) to the left and so been made 10 times bigger.Now, consider adding a zero to the end of a number with a decimal point:Consider the number 12.3; in this case:the 1 is two places to the left of the decimal point and so is worth 10the 2 is immediately to the left of the decimal point and so is worth 2the 3 is immediately to the right of the decimal point and so is worth 3 tenthsNow, when a zero is added to the end, the number becomes 12.30; the digits are now:the 1 is still two places to the left of the decimal point and so is still worth 10the 2 is still immediately to the left of the decimal point and so is still worth 2the 3 is still immediately to the right of the decimal point and so is still worth 3 tenthsSo the original digits have not changed place (value columns) and have not changed their value.The added 0 has been added in the hundredths column in this example, but its value is no hundredths and has added nothing to the value. Thus the value of the number has not changed by the addition of a zero after the decimal point.
