minus-squareBobTheDestroyer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoAm I missing something? You have a subtotal to which you add the tip, service fee, and the tax. Where’s the rounding?
minus-squareped_xing [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoCheapo Ygly didn’t tip 2.79, he tipped 10%, or 2.787. Similarly, the tax isn’t exactly 3.08, either. You sometimes get different results if you round to the nearest penny and add or if you add and then round.
minus-squareBobTheDestroyer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoThat’s maybe two cents worth of rounding error. If you add the Subtotal, tip, fee, and tax it comes up to 36.53, not 38.52. Where’s the extra 1.99?
