If you have NO idea, why have you been asked to do it?

Hint :
.1234 = .123 rounded to 3 decimals
.1235 = .124 rounded to 3 decimals

9,106/10,000 = 0.9106

Now round to the place...

(Hint: if the number is 5 or higher, then it rounds the number to the left of it up... e.g --- 0.1356 = 0.136)

I'll help you on this one, but make sure you learn how to round decimals.

0.9106 = 0.911

take this number and multiply by 1,650.

Which gives you 1,503.15

Hope this helps.
