  -> Although I agree with you, I'll try to justify my answer. When we say to "the nearest decimal point" the word "nearest" refers to the "dot". In other words it's like saying "accurate to the nearest to the dot point"

  -> I agree. It should be, as Philip suggested, to the nearest decimal place. Thanks
