Default Question about decimal places


I have a worksheet function that gives me a result in a dollar value
with 2 decimals, let's say it produces the following value: $11.85.
Now, the actual value is more like this $11.85983733333 because it's a
result of a much more complex formula, but of course I have it rounded
off to 2 decimal places. I have another formula that takes the above
number and multiplies it by a number of hours, say 5000, and I get a
dollar value, BUT I want the second formula to grab the $11.85 in the
first formula and use that, but instead it grabs the long un-rounded
version. How do I get it to grab the result that I want? Am I making
sense? I can explain myself further if necessary. Thanks.
