Accidentally stole from a guy. Waitwut

[Icealote]

In terms of money, I had 3 $100s and 2 $50s; total of $400. I meant to give him a $50 and him give me back $35. I guess somehow we got the money mixed up, and I ended up giving him both of my $50s, and kept his $100, and he gave me $35 back. I don't know either. The hell. >__

 

[naved.islam14]

I've done that before, although each time I did that I felt so bad I went back to the store and gave them back the money.


QUOTE(haflore @ May 14 2011, 08:47 AM) Why can't these kinds of things happen to me!

 

[zeromac]

The same thing happened to me

I was buying a movie ticket and i suppose to get 3 dollars change because i paid with a 20 dollar bill. Instead the lady gave my 20 dollar bill and the 3 dollars ontop of that bill to me as change, I dont think she noticed lawl

 

[redact]

this morning i was serving an old lady who was buying a $35 cd player and she gave me a 50 so i gave her the $15 change... as i was handing it over i realized i'd accidentally put my hand one slot to the left and given her a 10 and a 20

(luckily we both noticed at the same time and she laughed it off as i swapped the 20 for a 5)

I thought it was 228.

48÷2(9+3) = ?
Solve the brackets first.
48÷2(12) = ?
Expand the brackets
48÷24 = ?
Divide.

i was under the impression that the B in BIMDAS would only apply to things inside the brackets and that x(y) would be considered multiplication
eg:
48%2(9+3)
1) 48%2(12)
2) 24(12)
3) 288

Off-topic:
It's actually PEMDAS here.
P for parenthesis and not brackets... ()s are called parenthesis.

Also, what does the I stand for?
E stands for exponents.

maybe you guys are just taught a different acronym
when i was in school i got
Brackets
Indices
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

 

[Dangy]

I had an older guy give me $50 extra today at work, it was stuck the the back of a $20 (must've been fairly new money) I gave it back, hoping that he would say "Since you're so honest, you can keep it."

Oh well.

In the US as a whole, it's just PEMDAS. Nobody calls exponents "indices" here. We also generally use parentheses for all forms of math rather then brackets.

Using PEMDAS, the equation would be as follows:
48÷2(9+3)= ? - Solve the parentheses first
48÷2(12)= ?
Next, we just take the division and multiplication in order. With PEMDAS, multiplication and division are just taken in order of appearance, then addition and subtraction are taken in order by their appearance. It doesn't matter which comes first, thus:

24(12)= 288

My TI-83 Plus returns the exact same answer for the same reason.

At my school, we've never needed to learn any sort of word to remember that since we can do just as good without it.

Stuff like PEMDAS is usually taught at about the midpoint in the US (pre-algebra for me) for schooling. Past pre-algebra, no teacher has ever brought it up again.
