My "debugging" in a prior response was intended to show how numbers are displayed. Your single values may always contain some "fuzz".
I believe that unless declared otherwise, values within calculation are converted to double, so the double data type is often preferred to single unless for some reason you are concerned about running out of internal memory. Since the currency data type uses four places of decimal, in this case you might want to use currency variables.
