9.37 Ten cents= 10,20,30,40 so on. Question is: is 9 closer to 10 or 0? 9 is 9 numbers away from 0 and only 1 number away from 10. That means 10 is the nearest answer.
Rounded= 10 cents per hour

Marc's hourly wage of $9.37 rounds to $9.40 when rounded to the nearest ten cents. This is because the digit in the hundredths place is 7, which leads us to round up. Therefore, his new wage reflects an increase to the nearest ten cents.
