Why does it jump from 76.74 to 56.739999995 insted of 56.74? :dizzy_face:
Did I skip a step? :thinking:

I don’t even know how to google this :sweat_smile:

You skipped nothing, floating point math is tricky in nearly every language, unless one plans very carefully for it.

In this case, I’d look at Math.toFixed() on DevDocs and simply round it to the precision you need.
