Default How do I round numbers to the nearest multiple of 10 or 5?

To round to nearest 10

=ROUND(A1,-1)

to nearest 5

=ROUND(A1/5,0)*5

Using Excel Office 2000, I'm calculating the quantity and value of

vaccines
remaining in end-of-year inventory according to 3 different funding
categories (from which vaccine was purchased) and according to package

size.
Package sizes are multiples of 5 or multiples of 10, depending on the
vaccine. For example, there are a total of 400 doses of DT in inventory.
Using percentages, 133 doses of DT were purchased using fund #2 and 267

doses
were purchased using fund #3 (fund #1 was not used for purchase of DT).

How
do I round to the nearest multiple of 10 in Excel so that the ending

result
still equals 400 doses when added together?
