Default rounding up and down formulas

That formula will *round down* an integer and a decimal = to 0.5

A1 = 10
A1 = 1.5

Formula result = 9.99
Formula result = 1.49

I am creating a retail price for our items. Problem is that I want the

that it would automatically come out to $6.99 or if it was to $6.49 if is
was
a lower number. Thanks!
