Where did the 0.1 $ come from?

[wow]

It was my 20 years ago's joke, when I studied accountant in high-school.

Well, we know the law that, the Income always equals to what we Spend.

My mom is an accountant, so she would agree for this law.

One day, my mom told me to write down a list, the stuff she bought in the market of that day.


Here we go --------

Initial margin before expense: 10$


Fish 4 $ ------ left 6 $
Meat 3 $ ------ left 3 $
Milk 1.9 $ ---- left 1.1 $
Bread 1.1 $ --- left 0 $
------------------------------ (+)
Total : 10 $ ----- 10.1 $

Then I asked my mom, where did the 0.1$ come from?

From the Food Fairy[FF]. But the FF was prepared to give you more then just the $0.10

Bread   1.1 $      left  8.9 $
Milk    1.9 $      left  7.0 $
Meat    3.0 $      left  4.0 $
Fish    4.0 $      left  0.0 $
------------------------------ (+)
Total 10.0 $            [B][COLOR=#FF0000]19.9 $[/COLOR][/B]

So you could have had 9.9 $ left instead of just 0.1 $.
