Go figure it out, kid.

Well it depends on if it is new math or old math.

Well… in one way it’s good….

it shows that the test you were given properly reflects the skill level you have attained.Or not..

This is “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it” transferred to another dimension.

Is that the top 6% or the bottom 6% ?

Dad. They would not let me use my I-Phone. I had to do it by hand. And to tell the truth. I give math tests in my line of work. You would be amazed at how many fail it. Try it yourself. Add Subtract Multiply Divide FRACTIONS. Twenty questions. 90 percent failure rate. Me included. I was instructed but long forgotten.

My mother did all my math for me so I could continue playing “sandlot” baseball ‘til I got to highschool. I’ve regretted that right on up to this day.

i HATED math..but…i LOVED trig…..you figure it out….

6%.. Really that high… Either your on the way to being the next Einstien, kid. Or you get used to saying doja want fries wid dat?

6% right or 6% wrong?

Caster…. I know.

When the economy was better I was getting jobs tutoring math phobics … I taught grown people how to balance their checkbooks…how to figure out half off or a 10% discount.

Back in the 90’s I managed a chocolate shop.I asked prospective employees, “By the way, how many ounces are there in a pound?”Most common answer: “12?”

Our scale was decimal. I would catch staff and customers referring to .25 lb as “25 ounces” but still calling it a quarter pound.

Had to just walk away till the customer left if they understood each other.Aaaaghhhh!
