The TRUNC function returns the first arithmetic_expression truncated to "x" places to the right of the decimal point, where "x" is the second optional arithmetic_expression. If this second arithmetic_expression is not passed, the arithmetic_expression is simply truncated by removing any decimal places.
This function truncates the number passed to 1 place after the decimal point:
TRUNC(2.42 , 1)
`returns 2.40
