Any geniuses here?

Well what confused me is that, my answer worked. O_o Like I even did an example LOL

But yeah, I whizzed through trig and pre-calc and even college algebra (which really isn't even that hard) but like "Easier" algebra problems I mess up anymore

You had it all right, you just forgot that you needed to convert it to cents, so you would need to multiply the whole thing by 100. Otherwise it was all right.

Oh no, not math!
I have no idea what the answers would be, sorry.

Oh darn, everyone beat me to it! LOL, I wanted to show off my mad math skills.

Do you understand them now, Sarah? If not, let me know. I can explain them step by step in detail. Megan did a terrific job, just making sure you understand. It's easy to go "yes, I get it" WHILE the problem is being done, but when you have to do it yourself it can get a bit sticky.

I'm glad you got help!! Such smart people on PT.

Math is also my favourite subject, I kick total butt in it. Right now, I'm taking AP AB Calculus (Calculus 1 as a senior in highschool and I get college credit after I take my AP Calc test in May) and I LOOVVEEEE Algebra. There have been many cases in this class where it asks us to find something, and we (the nerds.. hehe) sit there, finding derivatives, integrals, and using several pieces of paper, and it could've been done with a simple equation. LOL But hey! We got to the right answer, we just found a lot of other stuff too! I often overlook the "easy" ways unless I'm aware of what technique I'll have to use. But for my AP test in May, I'm looking forward to whizzing right through it using all my short-cuts. Sometimes I remember to use them, but other times it's just good practice to go the long way!!
