How do I get rid of the numbers after the decimal?

Question

I have this piece of code that does a countdown and it works fine, but it shows the numbers 5 places after the decimal does anyone know how I can get rid of this? I wouldnt even mind it just showing the numbers 2 places after the decimal. More preferably I would like the numbers after the decimal gone though. here is my code:

 var timeLv1 : GUIText;
  var timer : float = 30.000000000;
  var outOfTime : boolean = false;
   
 function level1 () {
    
     timer -= Time.deltaTime;
     timeLv1.text= "time: " + timer;
     if(timer <= 0){
     
     timer = 0;
     outOfTime = true; 
     }
  
     }

 function Update () {
 
 if(Application.loadedLevelName == "gameLvl1"){
 
 level1();
 if(outOfTime){
 
 GameOver();
 }
 }

This is by far the simplest, most elegant solution

Maybe there is a builtin function for this, but it would probably do exactly as this one: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/197196/round-to-decimals.html

This does not seem to work for. It keeps saying $$anonymous$$athf is not apart of float

I just tested it and works fine here, can you please post your snippet?

@Pecek Here is What I have. I think I might just be inputing the code wrong. Can I see what you put?

  var timeLv1 : GUIText;
  var timer : float = 30.000000000;
  var outOfTime : boolean = false;
  
 function level1 () {
  
     timer -= Time.deltaTime.$$anonymous$$athf.Round(randomNumber*100.0) /100.0;
     timeLv1.text= "time: " + timer;
     if(timer <= 0){
  
     timer = 0;
     outOfTime = true; 
     }
  
     }

timer -= Time.deltaTime.$$anonymous$$athf.Round(randomNumber*100.0) /100.0;

this line can't be right, try using this ins$$anonymous$$d

timer -= $$anonymous$$athf.Round(Time.deltaTime *100.0) /100.0;

Also you can use Eric5h5's solution, but if you want to use it again as a number you'll have to convert it back(which looks a bit overkill for me)
