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.

Why not just add .0099999 and truncate?
