$58.81$ $58.81$

Explanation:

Round to $2$ $2$ decimal places by cutting off at $2$ $2$ decimal places and adjusting according to the next digit.

In our example, $58.8136$ $58.8136$ truncated to $2$ $2$ decimal places is $58.81$ $58.81$ with following digit $3$ $3$ .

If the following digit was $5$ $5$ or more, then we would add $1$ $1$ to the last digit.

Since $3 < 5$ $3 < 5$ we do not need to adjust the last digit.

$58.8136 \approx 58.81$ $58.8136 ~~ 58.81$ rounded to $2$ $2$ decimal places.
