Of course I am talking about math, I have tried to figure this out on my calculator and with pen and paper and i come up with completely different results. Can anyone help??

subtotal 43.80
- coupon for 20% (I get 8.76 both on paper and on calculator)
+ shipping 3.95
+ sales tax of 6.4% (I get different totals for this on paper and calculator)(I get 2.49 and 2.66)
= ??

this is driving me nuts!!! :loop: The order i have to do it is subtotal minus coupon, plus shipping, plus sales tax, equals grand total. can anyone help??

Wish I could.... instead, I'm just here for moral support. :hugz: I make DH figure out that kind of thing. I'm terrible at math, too! :laugh:

LOL Lori!! Math is certainly never been my friend. Even in school, i was never good at it. Some days math clicks right away for me, but most days I am lucky to be able to do my counting on my fingers and toes!:toothy:

Melissa, I can relate, I am completely math illiterate. I rely so strongly on my calculator that I am sunk if I have to do any kind of percentages in my head.

My trusty calculator came up with the same total as everyone else-41.48.

Rounded to nearest number ... it is $ 41.49
