        • If the value of the third digit to the right of the decimal (the 1000th position) is less than 5, the 100th position (second to the right of the decimal) remains unchanged. If the third position to the right of the decimal is 5 or greater, the value of the second position increases by 1. For example, if the computed price is $0.189999, the actual/extended price that is recorded at the time of purchase is $0.19.
