As long as you are dealing with whole numbers and/or decimals, you can
use some basic steps to determine how to round a given number. These
steps are givenin the next frame.
Remember, you will be rounding to the nearest number. The theory is
that if several numbers are rounded, some will go to the higher number
(round up) while others will go to the lower number (round down). If all of
the original (unrounded) numbers were added together and rounded, the
results should be about the same as the sum of the rounded numbers.
