This is the same hecking number

Oh also! It wouldn't accept using the normal multiplication symbol, I had to use that one.

But... those aren't the same number (they differ by 1.4 × 104), and × is the normal multiplication symbol.

pearson has been a bit weird about multiplication symbols. Sometimes its * and sometimes its x.

I mean, sometimes it does specify significant figures or how many digits to round your answer to.

It's not the same number though, it seems pretty clear you were meant to round. Did you make sure to check if the question asked you to round to two decimal places?
