Shopping in Oak Park I've been hit up for a lot of things: money, a ride, my butt, weed, but this evening was the first time I was hit up for math.
I was wearing a dress shirt and slacks. A guy gets my attention in the produce isle. "How much is this mellon?" the guy asks. Humm I'm thinking.
I start looking over the situation. The guy has a mellon in the scale -- 13 lbs. And want to know how much it is. He tells me its .39 cents a lbs.
Err about $4 I tell them. Then I adjust Err $6. Ok the answer is $5.07, but not as terrible as the guy in the store.
