Default Formula

Hi I am using a simple formula to add two number together but the problem is
that the numbers have been formatted to 2 decimal places and when I add them
together the answer uses more than the two decimal places. How can I stop
this?
I have enter the data below so you can see what I mean. The first 2 numbers
are the ones I am adding together and the last one is the answer.
$34.62
$34.62
$69.23

Try this:

=ROUND(A1,2) + ROUND(A2,2)

Hope this helps.
