Look at the hundredths place only. If it is 5 or more round up, add one to the tenths place, and throw away the hundredths and all decimal parts to the right of it. If the hundredths place is less than 5 round down, which means keep the tenths place the same and throw away the hundredths and all decimal parts to the right of it.

Ex: 65.734 ... 3 is the hundredths place and is less than 5 ... round down

= 65.7

or 74.38111 --- 8 is the hundredths place and is greater than 5 ... round up

= 74.4
