Default Need help, simple math...from a percentage

I am trying to add percentage numbers and it is rounding up/down...Is there
any way to stop the rounding.
example
CELL C36 CELL D36 CELL E36
ACTUAL # =C36*(1-20%) =C36*(1-80%)
$169.82 $135.86 $33.96
$775.81 $620.65 $155.16

$945.63 $756.50 $189.13
WHEN I USE A BASIC ADDITION DOWN EACH COLUMN, I GET NUMBERS ROUNDED DOWN IN
COLUMN D AND NUMBERS ROUNDING UP IN COLUMN E. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THE
ACTUAL NUMBER.
THANK YOU
