You should take a look at float string formatting documentaiton.

In your case this will work.

'{:.2f}'.format(3)

Thanks, should I put this in before the round() – Shahzil Shah Mar 12 '20 at 20:47
it's just a string operation, so you should use in only while printing your values. – Michael Savchenko Mar 13 '20 at 09:40
