View Full Version : Math Question Todd 03-15-2006, 05:44 PM If you make a $32 bet and win $150 what is your percentage net gain? I've calculated ( 150 - 32 ) / 32 = 3.69% But in my mind it should be more like 350% or something. Any ideas? PUGalicious 03-15-2006, 05:45 PM 3.69 is correct. That would be 369%. Todd 03-15-2006, 05:48 PM I thought that too but it still does not add up. $32.00 * 369% = $118.08 Todd 03-15-2006, 05:49 PM Oh I see once you add the original $32 your set. Geez:doh: PUGalicious 03-15-2006, 05:50 PM You were calculating the net. If you want to calculate the total increase, the formula is 150/32.

Just to clarify for those who didn't get the joke.. Scribe joined in... - we were all playing with our titles.. but...

Patrick started it!:tweeted: Actually Keith started it when he changed his to Senior Moderator. I never figured out his exact meaning of that...whether it applied to his age, or the fact that he was superior to everyone else....you know like a Senior Pastor at a church. |
