Can Someone Do Me A Quick Sum Please?

[mrs_overall]

I can't find the calculator and am rubbish at maths. If 7,500 points are worth £5, how much are 400,000 points worth?
Thanks xx

5 x 400000/7500

But she can't find the calculator! 266.66 pounds.

£ 266. I think.

Well on paper that simplifies to 5 x 40000/75= 20000/75=800/3= 266.66666...

Thank you all very much

i missed some zeros there when typing but it still works out.
Yes, Google has a calculator

[mrs_overall]

Thanks trigger....I didn't know that (hangs head in shame)

Indeed one can type arithmetic into Google and get the answer.

I have just realised my mobile has a calculator as well

(hangs head in double shame)

BTW Some (at least the iPhone) mobile devices have a different calculator depending on which way they are oriented. In portrait they have a simple calc but in landscape they have a full scientific calc.

In a nutshell, I am a total klutz

mrs_o. How have you managed to save so many points? That's amazing.

£53.33

Bugger, forgot the £5 = 266.66

[Tilly2]

You forgot to times 5, bhg.

[Tilly2]

Ha!

[mrs_overall]

tilly, I haven't saved points...it is even better than that - it is something I have won!

Retail therapy time I think!
