The cost of 100 of the same item - - - my challenge problem

[lookagain]

Let \(\displaystyle \not{c}\) stand for the cent symbol (absent the actual correct symbol).


\(\displaystyle A \ sign \ inside \ a \ store \ states \ that \ .25\not{c} \ is \ the \ cost \ of \ a \ particular \ item.\)

If \(\displaystyle 100\) of these same items are sold to one customer, no other items are bought by this
customer, and there are no taxes on these \(\displaystyle 100\) items, then what should\(\displaystyle **\) be the total cost
to this customer?



\(\displaystyle **\) versus what likely would be

Your post does not apply as this is a challenge problem posted by a tutor to others.

Show your attempt, please, or not. This is not homework, and the phrases "my problem" or
"my challenge problem" already alert alert readers to this. Thank you.

.25 * .01 * 100 = .25

You have no units of money indicated. I don't know if you're referring to a number of cents
or a number of dollars. I can have a strong leaning as to what you are meaning, but the
unit(s) has (have) to be indicated by the symbol(s) or by equivalent words/phrases.

Scroll down for an answer:
















\(\displaystyle .25\not{c} \times 100 =\)

\(\displaystyle .25(100)\not{c} =\)

\(\displaystyle \boxed{25\not{c}} \ or\)

\(\displaystyle \boxed{\$ \ 0.25}\)

\(\displaystyle .25\not{c} \times 100 =\) : Denis says .25 / c * 100 = 25 / c

\(\displaystyle .25(100)\not{c} =\)

\(\displaystyle \boxed{25\not{c}} \ or\)

\(\displaystyle \boxed{\$ \ 0.25}\)

Next time, instead of my subpar .25 representing 25 cents, I'll use $1.00 / 4 ;
if you insist on a little box, I'll let you draw it; I'm sure you learned that well in kindergarTen.

There won't be any next time, because this problem passes through once. It wasn't just subpar;
it was/is wrong. You can't say what you'll use, because it is after the fact. There is zero insistence
on a "little box." How you interpreted that I am insisting that is mystifying. Yes, I learned how
to spell "kindergaten" decades ago, so what is your point?

\(\displaystyle .25\not{c} \times 100 =\) : Denis says .25 / c * 100 = 25 / c

No, Denis, that is also wrong. What you have typed doesn't have to do with my problem.

Here, you have the equivalent of \(\displaystyle \frac{.25}{c} \times 100 = \frac{25}{c}.\)

There are no cents expressed by what you typed.


Any more personal attacks out of you, and you will be reported, and I can hope you
will be banned from this site.

Wrong: kindergaRten; if this is a personal attack, then you did same to me earlier!

And I'll do the same. Have a good day; I hereby swear I will no longer answer or comment on anything you post.
