This module is from Fundamentals of Mathematics by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr. This module discusses how to round decimals. By the end of the module students should be able to round a decimal number to a specified position.

Rounding Decimal Numbers
Rounding decimal numbers
We first considered the concept of rounding numbers in
[link] where our concern with rounding was related to whole numbers only. With a few minor changes, we can apply the same rules of rounding to decimals.
To round a decimal to a particular position:
Mark the position of the round-off digit (with an arrow or check).
Note whether the digit to the immediate right of the marked digit is
less than 5 . If so, leave the round-off digit unchanged.
5 or greater . If so, add 1 to the round-off digit.
If the round-off digit is
to the right of the decimal point, eliminate all the digits to its right.
to the left of the decimal point, replace all the digits between it and the decimal point with zeros and eliminate the decimal point and all the decimal digits.
Sample set a
Round each decimal to the specified position. (The numbers in parentheses indicate which step is being used.)
Round 32.116 to the nearest hundredth.
The digit immediately to the right is 6, and
, so we add 1 to the round-off digit:
The round-off digit is to the right of the decimal point, so we eliminate all digits to its right.
32.12
The number 32.116 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 32.12.
The digit immediately to the right is 3, and
so we leave the round-off digit unchanged.
The round-off digit is to the left of 0, so we replace all the digits between it and the decimal point with zeros and eliminate the decimal point and all the decimal digits.
600
The number 633.14216 rounded to the nearest hundred is 600.
Sometimes we hear a phrase such as "round to three decimal places." This phrase means that the round-off digit is the third decimal digit (the digit in the thousandths position).
67.129 rounded to the second decimal place is 67.13.
is it possible to leave every good at the same level
Joseph
I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....
Salome
Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

Mercy is it clear?😋
Kalombe
hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
