Wow, that’s not a difficult problem. And this is why we are falling behind in math. I’m trying to teach my kids that math is fun and easy and is nothing to be afraid of.
I thought the US didn’t even have any $2.00 bills any more – that they were no longer legal tender?Here in Canada we don’t have $1.00 or $2.00 paper bills – we have coins. The $1.00 coin has a picture of a loon, so it’s called a “loony”. Following along, the $2.00 coin (which has a picture of a polar bear – what should we call it? a “poley”?) – is called a “toony”.The other thing that distinguishes our money from other countries’ is that we have put animals that are distinctively Canadian, and may soon be extinct – the polar bear because of global warming, the loon because of acid rain.Yes, I will tell you how many were going to St. Ives. But you have to ask.

If we give only ½ of your allowance this but promise to interest, how much can you expect next week?

With interest rate way it is not much. No cc is different making money.

@tcayer, Try handing them a 2.00 dollar bill and watch the fun start. Some never seen one.

My 2nd graders in India are learning to factor. No wonder Indian students are ahead of US students in math.

How interested do you promise to be?How many were going to St. Ives? (This is a real math question, with a logical, easily calculated answer.)

Surround some text with underscores, and you get italics. Surround it with asterisks, and you get bold.What happens if you do both?Let’s see…

You get both. Reasonable. And it seems we are no longer allowed to edit our comments?

I love math! Most musicians excel at the subject.
