Script Preparation code:

function round2(num, places) {
  return +(Math.round(num + "e+" + places)  + "e-" + places);
}

function round3(num, places) {
  if (places === 2) { 
    return Math.round( Math.round( num * 1000 ) / 10 ) / 100
  } else {
    const multiplier = Math.pow(10, places)
  	return Math.round(num * multiplier) / multiplier
  }
}

function round4(num, places) {
  +(num.toLocaleString(
    'en', 
    { maximumFractionDigits: places, useGrouping: false }
  ))
}
