Put your calculators away boys. Looks like the store discovered how math works.
Where is the midly infuriating part?
Presenting the pricing as if it represents a bulk discount when it doesn’t.
The only reason to do this is to trick people who can’t do multiplication into buying more.
Yeah, but only for 1. There would still have been no saving buying 3 over 2.
You can clearly see there is a sticker over the original price. It originally probably was a bulk deal that the store reduced to an all around deal.
You’re over here bitching about people who can’t do math and you can’t even see.
I’m bitching? About people who can’t do math? That’s news to me. Thank god you were there to tell me!
Yeah but how much for 4?
Wish I could tell you, buddy
Well 2 is between 1 and 6, 3 is between 2 and 4. So for 4 I’d say anywhere from 35 to 39 dollars. Which is, itself, a spread of 4 so you know it’s right.
I can’t express the embarrassment I feel from how long it took me to understand this.
They’re dissociating the numbers on the right from their normal 2-digit value into being two separate 1-digit values. 16 is not sixteen, it’s a one and six. The value of 2 is between 1 and 6.
Same goes with 3 being between 2 and 4.
Then they do even more delightfully dumb shit when extrapolating this logic to 4.
In reality, the things in OPs image are just $8 a piece.
What I’m saying is that this commenter is a fuckin savant.
Ok… But is ££8 more expensive than £8?
