Hello, format or printf statements are used for such things like rounding decimals. Although you seem to be on the right track with your rounding, you need to use either format or print instead of just print or println because the program wouldn't read it and instead show an error message.
Try:
System.out.format("%.2f",price);

Solution 2

Try also:

Java

System.out.printf("%.2f\n",price);

which uses printf to format the output.
