Math for TGR challenged

[iceclimb]

So my wife is a math teacher... and she gave the following assignment:

1. Have you ever been snowboarding?

2. A typical snowboard costs $220. Plus one needs binding which are $120. Then one needs boots which are $150

What is the total cost in gear for snowboarding?

3. The sales tax is 6%, how much money does the state get thanks to you buying snowboarding gear?

4. A typical day of snowboarding costs $80 for a lift ticket. Plus food, and lodging how much do you think it costs to have a snowboarding weekend for Saturday-Monday? Factor in gas to your destination.

5. You have been saving up all spring and summer for the winter snowboarding season, you have a total of $4,000. You need to buy all new gear and have to pay for everything (lift tickets, food, gas), how many days can you go snowboarding?

6. People are happy when they have about 60 days of snowboarding. What percent above or below are you to this number?

I'm mainly interested to see how many days the fine folks here can get in this, her students ranged from 2 days, to over 60. I think the school has some serious dirt bag potential there.....

Snowboarding sucks.

[Lonnie]

[Benny Profane]

Double or nothing on the winning number.

math is for douchebags & gapers.

Plus one need binding which are $120.

She should teach engrish, too.

[TheDingleberry]

[Buzzworthy]

And Economics. Where the hell did those $$ numbers come from?

Holy basic algebra batman.

Anyone want to do my math homework?

[Jack]

Buy a pass ,bring your own food=more money for beer. You have to budget for necessities you know.

[iceclimb]

Finally.. someone realizes she's teaching some basic math.

AND... if you make your own beer you can save even more money.

If I banged your wife 3 x per day, and charged her $4.00 per inch, per session, and the government taxed me 6% on that.....

LOL.

I'm glad the general consensus is..........

It's gonna take someone really dumb and pathetic in dire need of an ego boost to apply their basic math skills only for the sake of impressing us all.........
Last time I had this much fun, I was calculating my credit card expenditures....

If you learned to beat off and got a divorce.....

Chances are, your life would have much more meaning.

Does she give extra credit if you leave a bottle on her desk?

It'd probably be considered a charitable donation.

Need naked pics of wife to have any chance to help with a difficult item like this...

[dumpy]

Tramdock (or in this case Brociety)

Go local, less gas, no lodging

Seasons pass=more days for the money

Buy quality shit so it will last longer than one season

Lots of duct tape

Watch for airfare specials

I could bag a pretty damn good season on $4 grand, could do as many days locally as possible and probably at least 5 days at a major resort in the Rockies/Sierras/Tetons

(yes I know this is a math, not frugality exercise, just sayin)

[Tippster]

Grammar and syntax for the English-challenged as well, I see. Good thing your wife teaches math.

Oh boy.

[SkiED]

One first needs .... Then one needs a ...... Once one has one snowboard how many times can one go snowboarding...

jesus I hope she(one) doesnt talk like that in real life.

[Lone Star]

it's a trick question.

incomplete information is given to complete the problem. how many days do the lifts run?; is hiking allowed (hiking and riding down or hiking to an upper lift and riding 'free' all day); how many days, on average, is there enough snow to ride?

i read a book somewhere that the answer is 42

[Steepdeepnlong]

BUt, what if you already have the gear?
