"Jessica" question: answer is 0.49411764705882. Says round to nearest 100th percent. 49.42% is incorrect. 49.41% is correct. Isn't this truncated, rather than rounded?

Earlier question says round to 100ths. Gave answer to 2 decimal places, but correct answer given was truncated to 1 decimal place.
