Use Number.toFixed(number of decimal places):

var num = 4.59;
var rounded = num.toFixed(1);

Use the toFixed() method.

More detailed information at: MDN :: toFixed

var x = 4.5678;
Math.round(x * 10) / 10; // 4.6
Math.round(x * 100) / 100; // 4.57

Where the number of 0s of multiplication and division is the decimal point you are aiming for.

I propose you do what Daff suggests, but if you want the trailing "0", you will need to add it onto the string:

var num = 4.59;
var rounded = num.toFixed(1) + '0';

Also, if you want the number as a number rather than a string, use:

Math.round(num * 10);

As Emil suggested. If you then want to display it with the trailing 0, do:

Math.round(num * 10).toFixed(2);
