Question: A spatula costs $5.20. Pablo wants to buy it with cash. How much would it cost?
(1) $5.20
(2) $5.10
(3) $5
(4) $5.25

Solution:

To round to the nearest 5 cents, round the cents to the nearest multiple of 5. Numbers ending in 1, 2, 6, or 7 round down. Numbers ending in 3, 4, 8, or 9 round up.

Cash purchases must be rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
First, find the cents:
$5.20
20 is already a multiple of 5. Do not change the cents:
$5.20
