You bought a sweater priced at $24. The sweater was marked down 60% from its regular price. What was the regular price?
Show your work. I love you.

I'm not that sharp.

Excellent.
If the original price is P:
P - (0.60)P = 24
(0.4)P = 24
24/0.4 = P = $60

The shirt was $60
60% of 60 = 36. 60-36 =24

This is a 5th grade math problem. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.
There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
7 girs = 14 legs
7 x 7 big cats = 49 x 4 = 196 legs
7 x 7 x 7 little cats = 343 x 4 = 1372 legs
14 +196 + 1372 = 1582 legs. And if there is a bus driver, then there would be 2 more legs.

The driver has no legs, he's an amputee.

Poor bastard. Probably a war veteran and Obama's trying to steal his benefits. Shameless. I feel for the guy.

We could use him for our "Why won't God heal Amputees" experiment
