A great response, one of many.

2. huh?

that's some weird math you're using. His term is 48 months. 20% of that would be approximately 10 months.

[redqueen]

3. Doesn't 20% of 4 years = 8 months? (nt)

[cali]

6. actually, 20% of 48 months

is 9.6 months.

[redqueen]

8. Yeah... I shouldn't have guessed.

I should've used a calculator.

[cali]

12. I just used the easy old method of figuring what 10% is and then doubling it

that's how I figure what to tip.

[redqueen]

13. Hah... I use that same method.

Dunno why I didn't use it just now. :crazy:

4. Don't you mean about 5%? If 20% he would have 2 mo. x 5 = 10 mo. term.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. That can't be right...

20% would mean that in two months, 20% more of his first term would pass, which means in four months, 40% of his first term would've passed. That doesn't make sense.

Maybe 20% of his first year you mean?

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. It is actually 20% of his first YEAR! My bad! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, etc.

[derby378]

9. More like 5% (nt)

[depakid]

10. I think the poster meant to say first year....

[Voice for Peace]

20% of 48 months is 9.6 months.
