float is approximate value. Use NUMERIC or DECIMAL with required precision instead.refer to BOL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173773.aspxquote:
Approximate-number data types for use with floating point numeric data. Floating point data is approximate; therefore, not all values in the data type range can be represented exactly.
