[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 200424, member: 4373"]In Australia, this has been done way back 1988,9. Rounding off is simple unless you are terrible in maths. For example the following, what something may cost will now be rounded off to the right. 95cents = 95 cents 96c = 95c 97c = 95c 98c = 1dollar 99c = 1d 1d = 1d 1.01d = 1d 1.02d = 1d 1.03d = 1.05d 1.04d = 1.05d etc Difficult? No right? You never round them until everything is added up, i.e. grocery bills of 20 items will be all added up FIRST before the rounding occurs. I heard the situation in UK is quite different as everyone rounds UP there.[/QUOTE]
