#58.81#

Explanation:

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

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

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

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

#58.8136 ~~ 58.81# rounded to #2# decimal places.
