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.

How do you apply rounding numbers in your daily life?

I use rounding numbers in my daily life to simplify calculations, especially when budgeting or estimating expenses.
