- 9 is in the hundredths place and 5 is in the thousandths place
- Since the digit in the thousandths place (5) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place (9)
- 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the hundredths place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the tenths place (4)
- 1 + 4 = 5, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 5
- The digit in the thousandths place is dropped
- 1,946.495 rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places) = 1,946.50
