Need help to have the display discounted price rounded to two decimal places. I see the rounded number in the console.log but not on the Apps display screen.

**Link to the project or level:** [[replace with link to the curriculum or get the “Share” link to a project]](https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/a7745829-6bc5-4f10-a1cc-04c28b603106)  
**What I expect to happen:** [Displayed discount will be rounded to two decimal places. I see the rounded number in the console log, but on the test display on the app.]  
**What actually happens:** [Rounds to two decimal places in console log, but not in the display text area.]  
**What I’ve tried:** []

The simplest fix i found was changing line 12 to mimic the console.log  
code: `setText("discp", discp.toFixed(2));`  
Changing this shows the discount price as rounded. I will also suggest changing text\_area2 and text\_area1 to read only in the design tab so the text cannot be edited while running the app.
