Excel variation confusion

[ram1000]

I have an excel file with some simple math:
=SUM(D10*D8)

The answer comes out
$126,017.90


This is the wrong answer.

D10 is a value figured from another cell x*94%
x=67.30 and is a varibale choice of two, the result is 63.26 w/ tw
decimals and is formated for currency.
D8 = 1992
1992*63.26 = $126,013.92
If I have a cell multiply these two numbers from a couple other cell
it comes out right????

Can't seem to find the problem, can you

The answer is correct. The problem is that just because you only display two digits, there really is a third from the result of 67.3*.94=63.262. This number times 1992 equals 126,017.9

I think you will need to round the number if you only want to mulitple it by the two digits instead of the three.
