Today in API's class (Analysis of Pakistani Industry), our Sir said that there is a decline of 2.6% from 8.10 to 5.5, and for two minutes I kept thinking how can he make such a mistake. Because in my view 8.10 minus 5.5 is equal to 3.5 and not 2.6!!!
I totally forgot that a zero after decimal has no value (or is of no value or... comprehend it yourself. hehe). That reminds me of my post 5+5=25. Now I should practise writing
8.10 - 5.5 = 2.6 and even 8.1000 - 5.50 = 2.6
Keeep praying :(
ROFL ... you mean Eight [point] ten minus five [point] five ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappens at time :)
What's 1 + 1 ;-)
Prayers prayers !!
Everyone trips up now and then. I hope you're Ramadan is going well.
ReplyDelete~Asma: 1+1=2x1+3-1 divided by 2 :)
ReplyDeletei'm not that bad at math
~Abdur-Raheem: Oh, it's goign amazing Alhamdolillah...Last roza here. And happy Eid to you :)
Um, actually, 2.6 is the simple decline from 8.10 to 5.5. Percent decline is 32.1 (ref.). :P
ReplyDeleteEid Mubarak! :)
2.6 is just the difference of 8.10 and 5.5 and it NOT a decline by 2.6%. Because a decline by 2.6% of 8.10 will be 7.8894! =)
ReplyDeleteuff u r an ultimate dodo, infact dodo ka nodel prize apka howa :P
ReplyDelete~Saadat: I was actually thinking its 8.10 minus 5.05. That makes 2.6 :) And Eid Mubarak to you too (I know I'm quite late) :(
ReplyDelete~Some Desi: What's the story behind this "decline thing"? :P
