20% of 120 is 24. Not 40.
Yeah I realize that. That's why I put the lol after it. Hope you feel better now that you have enlightened us all that 20% of 120 is 24.
We learned that in elementary school.
Doesn't sound like dumb hillbillies to me; it sounds like everyone here is fluent in math. There is nothing said here that is wrong; that YouTube problem in the first post is crazy. This thread, however, just reminded me that math seems like the one subject that everybody likes to prove they're not dumb in. I'm not talking about just here, but everywhere. Everybody has a story about how they went to the grocery and their cashier couldn't count, or maybe a poor dirt farmer had to school their accountant on math. I can't remember who posted it, but someone said they thought they were slow because it took them 4 seconds to work it in their head. I don't know if he was kidding, but I couldn't work that in 4 seconds in my head, but I'm not one bit ashamed. It sounds like he has some math skills worth celebrating.
It was obvious you meant the $40 as a joke. Oh well! We are just dumb hillbillies. Lol.
I don't think Workinonit posted that to be mean spirited. They just did not get the joke.
