那是我們明天的數學功課
Young Larry stopped by the corner grocery store and read the following list to the clerk:
10 pounds sugar at $1.25 a pound
4 pounds coffee at $1.50 a pound
2 pounds butter at $1.10 a pound
2 bars soap at $.83 each
"How much does that come to?" asked Larry.
"Twenty-two dollars and thirty-six cents."
"If I gave you three ten dollar bills, how much change would I get?" said the boy.
"Seven dollars and sixty-four cents," stated the clerk who appeared to be irritated by all the questions.
Larry said, as he disappeared through the door, "I don't want to buy the items...that's our arithmetic lesson for tomorrow, and I needed some help with it."
小拉里逛進街角的雜貨店,把這么個清單念給店員聽:
10磅糖,每磅1.25元
4磅咖啡,每磅1.5元
2磅黃油,每磅1.1元
2條肥皂,每條0.83元
“這總共多少錢啊?”拉里問。
“二十二塊三毛六。”
“要是我給你三張十塊的鈔票,我該拿回多少找頭呢?”小男孩又問。
“七塊六毛四,”被一連串問題搞煩了的店員說。
“我沒想買這些東西……那是我們明天的數學功課,我就想找個幫忙的。”拉里說著話,人就出了店門沒影兒了。
