Cost

[carlyon bay]

if 2.5 kilos cost £25.00 how much would 0.5 lb cost?

[gingejbee]

About £2.27...

[Svejk]

app. £2.50 did you want it exactly?

[EcclesCake]

~£2.25

[carlyon bay]

thank you so much

[Svejk]

sounds like a bargain to me ;-)

[heathfield]

Read the question carefully, Svejk! :-)

[Svejk]

?

[heathfield]

It's not 2.5 kilos to 0.5 kilos, which is what your answer gives, but to 0.5 pounds, so Ginge's answer is correct.

[gingejbee]

....didn't pass A-level Maths for nothing, then?

[Svejk]

if it was .5 kilos it would be £5. ;)

[Graham-W]

A bit on the expensive side. If you went to Turkey you could get it in Liras. Much cheaper.

[Svejk]

and I did say app. unless carly was buying 2,000 units what difference does a few pence make.

[heathfield]

I won't ask you to do my shopping for me! :-)

[Svejk]

you need to read the question and my answer carefully, heathfield. But I accept your apology.

[gingejbee]

Since when was "a few pence" ....23 pence?

[EcclesCake]

Am I confused or is Heathfield messing with my simple, blonde, female head?

[Svejk]

23p buttons. lol.

[Svejk]

heathfield jumped in without thinking it through, eccles. ;-)

[Svejk]

He's now carefully worked things out and is summoning the courage to apologise.

[DrFilth]

if you stand at the counter long enough trying to work it out and a big queue forms behind you they will give you the item for nothing just to get rid of you


so the answer is nothing
