Do you have to figure in sales tax?

Too many Captain Morgains. I have analysis paralysis. How about that cost of ammo.

What the fugg is the answer to this question???????

 

OP, where is your niece I need an answer to this!?

Hmmm... What if we put this into terms we can relate to...

 

Jimmy-Bob walks into Cabellas with $50. He buys a can of CLP and cotton patches, the cotton patches are 2x the cost of the can of CLP. He spends half the remaining money on a 15/20 PMAG and leaves with $15. How much does each item cost?

 

...I still hate math...

 

Trick question. He couldn't have bought a 15/20 pmag with only $50.

 

Here is one I always liked.

 

3 guys on a road trip stop at a hotel for the night. Counterperson checks them in and charges them $30 for a room. They each chip in ten dollars and pay the bill.

 

The next morning the manager is checking the register and realizes that the 3 guys were over charged, it should have only been charged $25 for the room so he grabs 5 singles to correct the mistake ($30-$5=$25) and knocks on their door. They 3 guys are appreciative of the manager's honesty so they each take a dollar change ($5-$3=$2) and tip the manager the remaining $2.

 

So, originally the each paid $10 for a total of $30 (3x$10=30) the manager gave back $5 to fix the overcharge ($30-$5=$25). Since each guy got back $1 the each paid $9 ($10-$1=$9) and tipped the manager $2, for a total of $29 (3x9=$27+$2=$29).

 

Where is the other dollar to make the original $30?

15-50=35~3=11.666x2=23.33 so the lipstick was 23.33 shampoo is 11.67

If the pmag order was released from cheaper than dirt, and was not marked up more than 200%,, the total cost from warehouse A would be.....

No voodoo here. Just a poorly written word problem to daze and confuse.

Q. Jim-bob walks into the internet with $50 cash. He adds to his shoping cart 20 rounds of .22lr JHP and 20 rounds of .38 +P that are 2x the cost of the .22lr. He has $3.60 left over. What did he have for lunch?

 

A. 1. the internet doesn't accept cash. 2. nobody has ammo. 3. he didn't eat lunch 'cause he was too busy reading this thread.
