How many Maths teacher do you need to solve a prob?

... apparently, 2.


Out buying baby formula at a store. A 350g tin costs RM21.20. And a bigger tin holding 850g costs RM47.00. Which of the two is most cost effective? In each tin, how much would a gram cost?

hehe I can't believe we spent 5minutes discussing this problem~! haha We even provided questions to aid us. Problem is, most of us uses calculator to think for us, to do the calculation for us. We just rot our brain (more like kasi manja otak kita). So much so, we can't even find the simplest of the simple solution to an everyday question~! The above prob is a simple division question. The both of us got confused whether the weight should be divided by the price or is it the other way around? hehehe

Laughing at our own sillyness, eventually we got the answer. hohoho



I feel like an idiot after the episode. XD

To the other idiot reading this, I told you earlier which tin saves more money but you HAD to make us think~! :D
