Decimal places in numbers (ipad)

How to stop numbers giving me a number to 10-12 decimal places! I have a figure in column A which is taken away from column B and it leaves 8.50 ( for example) instead I get '8.9999995689995'

Incredibly frustrating! I know it's going to be something simple but I just can't find the right button!

Touch the result cell, touch the "paintbrush" icon, touch "Format", touch "Number", and change "Decimal" to 2 (use the small arrows to raise or lower the number or decimals).
