ROUND(.35000000 * 943.0 *.100 ,2) = 33.00 >ROUND(.3500000 * 943.0 * .100, 2) = 33.01 >ROUND(.35000000 * 943. * .100, 2) = 33.01 >ROUND(.35000000 * 943.0 * .10, 2) = 33.01Just to make it even more interesting, these results are affected by the value of SET DECIMALS. For SET DECIMALS from 0 to 11 the results are as you show them. For SET DECIMALS of 12 and up, all four expressions yield 33.00.
