"I don't know. I'm not a mathematician!" manager of Verizon store."Well, it's obviously a difference of opinions..." manager of Verizon store.Americans are so bad at math these days. I think whenever an employer hire people, they need to test their employees on mathematical skills. James8
I know I am not a mathematician but I am not completely dumb when it comes to math. I prefer the math that you can see not the hypothetical stuff
I must be a clod. .002 cents = 2/1000 cents = 1/500 of a cent per kilobyte and there were 35,896 kb. 1/500 * 35896/1 = 71.79 cents. $.002 = 2/1000 of a dollar = 1/500 of a dollar * 35896/1 = 71.79 dollars. Ah, nothing to do with math, they are confusing apples with oranges (dollars & cents). They need to know what the conversion of .002 dollars is in cents (obviously .00002).
I wouldn't say it has nothing to do with math, because dollars and cents aren't apples and oranges, they're just multiples of the same currency. One cent is one hundredth of a dollar. So 1 cent = .01 dollars.
