Question 880087: Would you round 99.3% to 100%? Please say yes, and give a legitimate reason why you should round to 100%, E.g, 99.3 can be rounded up to 99.5 as opposed to 99 and then 99.5 would further be rounded to 100. Please Please say yes and justify with a convincing reason. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
No, you can't do what you ask in general. You cannot simply "round off"; you must round off to a specified precision. 99.3% is already expressed to the nearest one-tenth percent. If you want to round it to the nearest percent, then 99.3% is much closer to 99% than it is to 100%. If you want to round to the nearest 10 percent, then 99.3% is closer to 100% than it is to 90%. But since you don't specify the desired precision, you cannot round off at all.
