just looks like an attempt to justify why all our bills are now rounded up or down based on a 3 decimal point system.

i'm sorry but i spend my pennies in 2 decimalplaces so why are my bills calculated to 3?????

Anyone?

to charge you more without you knowing about it.

Afternoon all.

If a = 0.999999 then 9a= 8.999991 which divided by 9 makes a .999999.

Decimal places my dear:D

Cheers.

I wonder how many are grabbing a calculator after reading this:D

Cheers.

It's NOT logic at all - just incorrect maths !!

a = 0.999 is correct

10a = 9.999 is incorrect

10a = 9.99

Therefore 10a - a 9.999 - 0.999 is incorrect it should read 9.99 - 0.999

which then gives the correct answer 8.991

Simple really :cool:

Super, you missed the "..." after the 999 ;)
