> I had some teachers who tried to avoid the issue by setting the A boundary at 89.5%. I outwitted them by earning 89.483%
89.483% rounds to 89.5%, but not 89.50%; it's just a matter of significant figures. I see significant figures often being misunderstood. You can only ever compare values of the same number of significant figures, it's just that most of the time that's done implicitly, so it's not acknowledged.
