I don't get it. How are you guys getting a result of 60.15 volts for a problem whose obviously exact answer is 60.00 volts????

I've also been having the issue with the correct answers being slightly off from the exact answer. How are you achieving 60.15 instead of 60?

The author of the question performed rounding after a calculation and on the final value as well. That's why the answers were a bit off.
I have corrected the test suite and rescored the solutions.
