[ARCHIVED] Quiz counts numerical answers as wrong unless it's exact even though I've specified a margin of error.

I've created a quiz with an "exact answer" of 346,000,000 with a margin of error of 0.05.  Nevertheless, Canvas only marks it correct if the exact number is input (I tried 350,000,000 and that was marked incorrect, even though it's within a 5% margin of error).  This is the first time I've tried this type of question.  What am I missing?

Never mind, I thought the margin of error was a percent, so if I put in 0.05 that meant the answer had to be within 5% but I've determined it's an absolute number so 0.05 means the acceptable answers can be +0.05 or -0.05.
