    1.0847 will not round to 1.09 (1.0857 would round to 1.09).

    Regardless the function is either:

    CONVERT(DECIMAL(3,2),1.0847) = 1.08

    or

    ROUND(1.0847, 2) = 1.0800

    You could also do this if you wanted to get 1.09 from 1.0857:

    SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(3,2),CONVERT(DECIMAL(4,3),1.0847))

    Convert twice the number to make 2 + 2 = 1 :0)
