[Python] Why does converting a string to float in Python remove trailing zeros?

I have the following function in Python:

def number_display(number1, number2):
return f"{round(9 * (number1 / number2)):.2f}"


When I call this function, I expect the output to be 2.00. However, I noticed that when I convert the output (which is a string) into a float, it returns 2.0, removing one of my zeros.

Example:

result = number_display(2, 9)
print(result) # Expected: "2.00"
print(float(result)) # Output: 2.0


I want to retain two decimal places, even after converting it into a float.

Why is Python removing the trailing zero, and how can I ensure that 2.00 remains formatted correctly in all cases?
