I was always taught when rounding off numbers with fractions, that anything 1/2 and over got rounded up to the next whole no., while anything under 1/2 got rounded down.
However, when talking about gas prices the extra 9/10ths of a cent always gets dropped. If gas is $2.429 we always say 2.42 instead of 2.43. Why is that? Is it clever marketing, or are we just too lazy to it the right way?
Just food for thought.
