In addition to the other answers about rounding, you are appending the answer to "total" by using

$("#total").append(total)

You need to replace the previous text rather than appending by using 

$("#total").html(total)

You can do several things: 

total = total.toFixed([number of decimals]);
total = Math.round(total);
total = parseInt(total);

  1. toFixed() will round your number to the number of decimals indicated.

  2. Math.round() will round numbers to the nearest integer.

  3. parseInt() will take a string and attempt to parse an integer from it without rounding. parseInt() is a little trickier though, in that it will parse the first characters in a string that are numbers until they are not, meaning parseInt('123g32ksj') will return 123, whereas parseInt('sdjgg123') will return NaN.

    • For the sake of completeness, parseInt() accepts a second parameter which can be used to express the base you're trying to extract with, meaning that, for instance,
      parseInt('A', 16) === 10 if you were trying to parse a hexidecimal.

See Math.round(...).
