The price of wheat in 1997 was $3.38 per bushel. In 1998, the price was $2.65 per bushel. Round the price per bushel of wheat for each year to the nearest tenth of a dollar.

1997- $3.38 Rounding to the nearest tenth of a dollar would be rounding to the first number after the decimal point (the tenths place), and the number(s) after that would be zero. $3.38 rounds up because the digit after the tenths place is 8, which is more than 5, so the final answer is $3.40 .
198- $2.65 This one is trickier because your number ends with a 5 in the hundredths place. However, most math books would want you to round up when you have a 5, so the final answer is $2.70 .

The price of wheat in 1997 rounds to $3.40 and in 1998 it rounds to $2.70. This rounding is based on standard rounding rules, which dictate that if the digit in the hundredths place is 5 or higher, you round up. Otherwise, you keep the tenths place the same.
