When I'm shopping, I compare prices,
but the boxes are different sizes.
Divide price by number of ounces,
and the answers sometimes surprises.
When I have limited cash,
I add up as I shop,
so I don't get caught at the checkout
with less money than what I've bought.
When something is on sale,
and the sale price is not stated,
math
will avail
to
figure out the sale.
Don't
be like the dumb shop owner I know,
who
divided instead of
multiplying by the
decimal,
and
ended up with an answer higher than the original.
He
charged the higher price. That's not a sale, duh!
Calculators
are dandy,
but
to avoid a terrible
mistake,
common
sense will come in handy.
Math
is important, not penny-ante.
