Microsoft multiplication issue

$

Why does Excel generate a multiplication error when calculating from a previously calculated value?  I have 2 different calculations on 2 separate spreadsheets and I'm getting two different values.  On the first spreadsheet, I am multiplying 2 numbers that are entered directly: 64*$34.65 = $2217.6 on the second spreadsheet I'm multiplying one entered number by a second calculated number: 64*($62,362/1800) = $2217.31; a $0.28 difference.  Granted, the calculated number in the second spreadsheet turns out to be $34.6455556 but rounding should yield $34.65.
