>Your hypothesis makes no sense. 599.97 is not equially divisible by 3 ... 600 is , 597.00 is and 597.99 is but not what you've supplied. You may need to be a bit more specific in your question.

Now you're confusing me. Divisible by 3 with up to 2 decimals means that 199.99 * 3 = 599.97. No?

If that's how it works, then the problem seems pretty trivial. Divide by 3, drop any decimals beyond 2, and multiply by 3. Perhaps you're right though. If the problem is that trivial, then maybe that's not really what it's about.
