It depends how many decimal places or significant figures you are rounding to.Here's the general method for if you're rounding to 2 dp (decimal places);Look at the number in the 3rd dp spot.

If yes, you'll need to increase the number in the 2nd decimal place spot by 1, unless ...The 2nd dp number is a 9 (as it is in the above question).
