    See what I've done in the attached, in column B.

    I entered your numbers in column A, but then in B used the formula: =ROUND(A1,2) so that 1.407 is itself rounded to two decimal places. That's what you need to do: change the numbers that are being added. 

     

    Otherwise, you do realize, that your first way of doing it is technically more accurate, even if it looks odd.
