That was our original idea, the important thing was that you have to be conscious of the number AFTER the decimal points. For example, adding .0099999 to $27.00000000001 and truncating to 2 decimals would NOT give you the desired result. (I know -- some would say well that's a given). The method I mentioned, it makes NO difference how many decimal points you are dealing with.
