Price fraction
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A friend of mine runs a Pharmacy. He has a specialised rounding function in his Dispensary application which receives a decimal value of currency and forces it to a standard value, This value is regulated by a government department.
Task: Given a floating point value between 0.00 and 1.00, rescale according to the following table:
>= 0 < 0.06 := 0.1
>= 0.06 < 0.11 := 0.18
>= 0.11 < 0.16 := 0.26
>= 0.16 < 0.21 := 0.32
>= 0.21 < 0.26 := 0.38
>= 0.26 < 0.31 := 0.44
>= 0.31 < 0.36 := 0.5
>= 0.36 < 0.41 := 0.54
>= 0.41 < 0.46 := 0.58
>= 0.46 < 0.51 := 0.62
>= 0.51 < 0.56 := 0.66
>= 0.56 < 0.61 := 0.7
>= 0.61 < 0.66 := 0.74
>= 0.66 < 0.71 := 0.78
>= 0.71 < 0.76 := 0.82
>= 0.76 < 0.81 := 0.86
>= 0.81 < 0.86 := 0.9
>= 0.86 < 0.91 := 0.94
>= 0.91 < 0.96 := 0.98
