This is unlikely. There are very few numbers with two decimal places which can be perfectly represented in floating-point numbers. (Those would be numbers with fractional values that can be composed from powers of two, i.e. 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75.) You'll probably want to read this: http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html And then stop using floating point math for anything which you require to produce an exact result. For money, the best thing to do is to simply perform calculations in cents using integers, then divide by 100 for display purposes only.
