If the value is equal to 5 or greater, increase the value in the cent’s place by 1 and then remove all digits to the right after the second decimal place. If the value is equal to 4 or less, simply remove all the digits to the right after the second decimal place.

- $6.922: The thousandths’ value is 2, so we round down: $6.922 → $6.92
- $5.800: Nothing to be done, the thousandths’ value is 0; → $5.80
