Given:

$248.62

Round to the nearest dollar.

Solution:

In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same.

In the decimal point, we have the number 6 which is greater than 5, therefore we will add 1 to the units place of the number.

=$249

Final answer:

=$249
