\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here's the general rule for rounding:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " * If the number you are rounding is followed by \"5%2C+6%2C+7%2C+8%2C\" or \"9\", round the number \"up\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Example: \"38\" rounded to the nearest ten is \"40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " * If the number you are rounding is followed by \"0%2C+1%2C+2%2C+3%2C\" or \"4\", round the number \"down\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Example: \"33\" rounded to the nearest ten is \"30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " your number is \"1.99%7D+and+you+have+decimals+99%2C+so+you+need+to+round+%7B%7B%7Bup\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and \"1\" becomes \"2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it's just like you have $1.99, rounded it is $2.00.\r
