Mathematics: All Classes: Wednesday. 25.1.6: 1. period

Today Charlie is looking sort of feverishly happy, and what he's saying keeps getting interrupted by coughing fits. "Today we are going to have some fun!

Before you can have your breakfast today, the Beginners are going to figure out how much the breakfast they want will cost, while the Intermediates are going to calculate the sales cost. You all have to pick at least three things. Broots, you can help them out."

He thought for a moment, while blowing his nose. "And you don't have to actually pay for the food, just do the math."

...

Victor signs in and gets to work. He wants food, dangit!

Strangely enough, Cameron doesn't sign in. He's too busy being an angsty boyfriend in the clinic to even remember such a thing as classes.

Angela signs in.

It's too early for numbers!

Kiki signs in.

Pippi signs in.

Molly signed in.

Chloe signs in.

Pip signs in.

Logan signs in.

Broots signs in. ~~Late, because the mun somehow missed this post. Nyeh.~~

Step up and "buy" your food here.

Victor looks over the items and prices, then goes to his desk and does some calculations.

Let's see...no Honey Nut Cheerios ~~woe!~~, so I'll just go with the regular Cheerios. That's 55 cents right there. of course I need milk, so that's another dollar. I wanna try the English tea, but I'll get a Gatorade just in case I don't like it. So that's 20 cents plus $1.29. I want some Ritz Bits, but that's junk food, so I'll get an apple, too. That's...$1.75 altogether...

He added the numbers on his paper together, then raised his eyebrows. His breakfast cost $4.79, which he thought was pretty expensive. Good think I'm not paying for this... he thought before getting up to turn his work in and get his breakfast.

Charlie beams, coughs and waves Victor over to the food table.

Hot cocoa, tea, or chai? Kiki agonizes. She opts at last for the chai - it's more expensive, but tea and cocoa are her usual staples at the bookstore, and something different would be nice. Corn flakes and an apple. A dollar-seventy-five and another fifty and five, plus the milk, makes three dollars-thirty.

"$3.30" she reports.

"Very good, go get your food."

"Can't I just give you one of these?" she says holding up a small golden coin. "... Ooookay."

sheesh.

coffee - .51
milk - $1
Froted flakes - .69
Orange - $1

After much scribbling on a bit of paper... (most of which are doodles)... Pippi comes up with $3.20

Molly looked over the food and decided she was glad she wouldn't have to pay for it since she'd missed breakfast that morning.

Hmm, she wanted cocoa - she decided on the special one, $ .59, milk $1.00, Froot Loops, $ .59, Mini Oreos, $ .69 and an orange, $1.00.

She named off everything she wanted to buy. "Plus the free water for my cocoa makes my total $3.87." She grinned at Charlie proudly.

Charlie grinned back and sneezed.

“Let’s see… we’ll start with some tea. Which is twenty cents. Gonna want some milk with that, so it’s a buck twenty. Two nice bowls of Special K and I’m at… er… two dollars and forty-one cents. Toss me an apple and I’ve got myself a nice breakfast at a cool three dollars and forty-one cents.”

calculate sales cost (http://www.webmath.com/sale.html).

Angela looks at the prices and decides to go for the nice round numbers.

The tea is twenty cents ... half price is ten cents. The corn flakes at half price are ... $0.27.5, which isn't real money, so I guess I should round up to $0.28. And then the apple is 24 percent off, so $0.76. 10 plus 28 plus 76 is 114.

"I think my breakfast is $1.14," she tells Charlie as she collects the apple, corn flakes and tea.

Charlie nods back ~~trustingly~~.

Walter is well and truly befuddled, given his budgeting experience is entirely in 1940s prices with 1940s British products.

His answer may be cribbed quite closely from Angela's.

Chloe immediately chooses the coffee, and then goes on to pick the milk, the corn flakes, and the apple.

0.39 + 0.80 + 0.28 + 0.76 = $2.23

Logan picked out coffee, Froot Loops and milk for the cereal.

(0.51)(0.77)+(0.59)(0.60)+(1.00)(0.80)=
.39 + .35 + .80 =
$1.54

Charlie is coughing today.

"Are you okay, sir?" Victor asked, concerned for his teacher.

"Got a cold," Charlie coughed back.

Pippi gives Charlie the orange she "purchased" for lunch.

Pippi also asks more REALLY HARD math questions as it relates to boats and sailing. Specificly how tall of a mast and how large of a sail for a ship of a particular size. She also wants to know about shapes... Of sails.

No doubt Charlie will answer them brilliantly. ~~But I'm not going to say he does because that would be Godmodding~~.

She also asks him if the fact that the locker is number "327" is significant.

Charlie accepts orange with a pleased smile, and totally answers her questions in a brilliant manner, omg, for he is a brilliant, brilliant man ~~even if his mun is not~~.

"I don't know.. I haven't thought of that," he says, thoughtfully, to the locker question. "Are you interested in the locker? I find it fascinating."

Pippi nodded emphatically while munching on an apple she didn't "pay" for.

"I really am. I've been all over the place, and seen lots of wonderful things, but I've never seen anything like the locker. What have you found out so far?"

"Well, things that are spewed out seem to be fairly harmless, if bizarre, while when you're sucked in, fire and noise seem to be pretty concistant." He starts peeling the orange.

Pippi nodded again.

"When Walter and I checked it out it blew us off or feet and there were lots of flowers. Then he tried to open it again. But it wouldn't open... I asked it nicely and it opened... But it was just a normal locker on the inside... Walter seemed to think it didn't like him."

After all his classes ~~and probbaly slow played liek whoa~~ CJ drops in to ask about getting back to normal.

"Based on what's happened before... I think it'll happen on its own," Charlie says, inbetween coughs.

She can't help but sound whiney, "Yeah, Charlie...but when? How much longer, man?"

Charlie shrugged. "Hard to predict. A day? A week? A month?" He sneezed.
