Hopefully someone can help me quick. I am in a bind. I have been trying to figure out how to output 2 decimal places for score1, score2 and avg in the code below. So far everything I do ends up with an error of some kind. The user is allowed to enter the test score as a decimal and then an average is calculated that also needs to be in decimal form. The only thing I can get to display as a decimal is avg and it only has one decimal place even when the answer should have 2.
