Math class is in session!!
« on: September 07, 2011, 03:00:19 PM »
OK guys, listen up!

I have seen this on soo many posts that I have lost count...


At the ends of these posts many of you sign with...My .02 Cents...


THAT IS NOT CORRECT!

It is 2 Cents or .02 Dollars... .02 Cents does not equal 2 Cents...


That is all for today's lesson!


Thank You

.02 Dollars is 2 percent. .02 Percent = .0004 Dollars.

.02% is 2% of 2%

.02% is 2% of 2%

.02 percent is actually .0002 not .0004

ah ok i thought you were talking about .02 percent of 1 but your math is still wrong.  To find .02 percent of .02 you have to move the decimal place of you percent two places to the left before multiplying.

A puzzle to think about:

would you rather work for 30 days and get paid 5 million dollars, or be paid 1 cent the first day, 2 cents the second day, 4 cents the third day, and so on...?


hmmmmmmmmmm.................. ...

You are correct! .02 percent is .0002


Math class is a learning environment for all...


... My first statement still stands about .02 Cents :)
