You look at the first decimal number after the ones place. If it's less than 5, then you leave the percent as it is; but if it's greater than or equal to 5, then you round up.

Eg. 56.4% = 56%

56.6% = 57%

4 or below let it go

5 or above give it a shove

Oh honey, it's simple. You just look at the decimal part of the percent. If it's 0.5 or higher, you round up. If it's less than 0.5, you round down. No need for a calculator, just use those brain cells!

Oh, dude, it's like super easy. You just look at the decimal part of the percent, and if it's 0.5 or higher, you round up to the next whole percent. If it's less than 0.5, you just round down. Like, no big deal, right? Just a little math magic to make those percents all nice and tidy.

Well, when you're rounding percents to the nearest whole percent, you just need to look at the decimal part. If it's 0.5 or higher, you round up to the next whole percent. If it's less than 0.5, you keep it the same. Just like painting happy little trees, rounding percents can be a peaceful process that adds a touch of harmony to your numbers.

It is 40% so you do not need to round.
