When rounding to the nearest dollar, we look at the digit in the hundredth's place (the second decimal place). If it is 5 or greater, we round up. If it is 4 or less, we round down. In this case, the digit in the hundredth's place is 0, which means we round down. Therefore, the rounded figure is $60,434. When rounding to the nearest dollar, we look at the digit in the hundredth place (the second decimal place). If that digit is 5 or greater, we round up by increasing the digit in the ones place (the first decimal place) by 1. If that digit is less than 5, we round down by simply dropping all digits behind the ones place. In this case, the digit in the hundredth place is 0, which is less than 5, so we round down and the answer is $60,434.
