Gunm Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Easily my worst subject in school. I was never good at math, never will be I dont think. In community college I got drunk one night and lit my statistics book on fire i hated that goddamn thing so much...it was the most frustrating and teeth grinding obstacle i had in order to transfer to (blank) I swear, I ccouldn't mathmetize myself out of a paper bag.....thank god my job entails only the most remdial knowledge of basic math. And while we're at it, i need to calcuate a discount for a client. What's 10% of $6300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 $630 why? because ten percent is one tenth one tenth of 6300 is 630 how'd i figure? because 630 X 10 = 6300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I used to be damn good at math. My parents forced me to be. I had tutors like crazy, insanely intimidating and painful methods of encouragement from my parents, and all that jazz. I was in an amazing math program at school (my teacher constantly created math contest winners - including myself). But then I started smoking weed.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Math is fucking amazing. I used to be real good at it, but my abilities decayed fast once I started drinking a lot. My little bro is a fucking genius. He's the kind of kid that can grab those crazy math problems in the newspaper next to the crossword puzzle and solve them in less than a minute. We often have battles and he nearly always crushes me. But then I remind him he shits bowling pins and I automatically win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Dazzle Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I don't get math at all. Or sciences. I was much more of a English and Social Studies guy. But even I know what 10% of something is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Brock Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm good at math but I'm unable to succeed in high school math and science. Its not something you can follow when you're asleep in every other class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOx Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Maths is so shit. I'm constantly required to work out 20% of triple digit numbers at work in front of customers.

sarcasm Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 i hate math, but it's fairly simple. the higher u go, it's just some new concepts, and it all boils down to algebra. i went through calc 1, 2, 3, linear algebra and differential equations. going to school for electrical engineering sucks. fuck physics too.

saraday Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 god, i'm taking precalc and physics right now and i'm not doing too well. tests tomorrow and tuesday. :( i just dropped 100 bucks on a TI83 so i can calulate vectors and check my answers but i still suck.

Tough Love Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 i hate math too we had a grade 11 math teacher who pretty much let us cheat and learn nothing the entire year needless to say we were all fucked over for grade 12! yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Feets Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Originally posted by symbols@Mar 8 2006, 02:44 PM $630 why? because ten percent is one tenth one tenth of 6300 is 630 how'd i figure? because 630 X 10 = 6300 Quoted post Even an easier way. $6300.00 <- Notice the decimal point. If you want to find 10% of $6300.00, you just move the decimal point once to the left. So... $6300.00 becomes $630.000, which is y'know, $630.00. But if it's like, find 22% of $6300. Uh... let's see... 1. State the problem or whateverthefuck. $6300.00 2. Find 10% of that. (do that move the decimal point to the left once thing). You'll get $630.000 as stated above. 3. Uh... Then you multiply $630.000 by 2.2. (why? because 10 x 2.2 = 22%) 4. $630.00 x 2.2 = $1386.00 ($1,386) 5. So 22% of $6300 is $1386. I think that's the answer. I'm pretty sure that it. ;) And that's as good as I get as far as math goes. Hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungoverseas Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 math is so garbage. like seriously, what the fuck do i care about what is x in x=x+abcderfdssf(xyn912357snakes on a plane) - 28 +13. "it'll be applicable in the real world". bullshit. here's whats applicable in the real world: "what time is it", "how many more shots can i take", "how old is this girl". seriously.

Gunm Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 I was in community college with a gang of ghetto kids that frustrated the statistics teacher to no end. Because I kept quiet, took notes and asked questions, i was given an "A" in the class although AT BEST I should have gotten a C+ Whatever, it looks great on my transcript Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
