Thanks guys,
I'm still unsure why I'm getting 4 decimal places as I know for fact
that the data is 2 decimal places. However, it seems my approach is
wrong. I'll convert to int's and NSDecimalNumbers instead and remove
all floats.

That is because floating point numbers don't have "decimal places";
forget all about decimal places

This is unlikely. There are very few numbers with two decimal places
which can be perfectly represented in floating-point numbers. (Those
would be numbers with fraction
I've not used it myself, but there is also NSDecimal that may be an
alternative. Also, I recall seeing an IBM-released class that I believe had
been part of ICU that also did decimal arithmetic using 32 or 64 bits.

Floating point values of either float or double are not guaranteed to
be super precise, and should never be used to represent c
