It wasn't an "oops". It was deliberate because that is how cents are numerically displayed. AGAIN, I'll refer you to the price per round in the link..... For the third time. There are dozens of ammo supply houses that use decimals to indicate cents per round. Including both that I linked to.

https://www.wikiarms.com/group/9mm ....... 0.14 cents per round

https://www.targetsportsusa.com/prvi-partizan-30-06-springfield-m1-garand-150-gr-fmj-pp348-p-95.aspx ...... 0.65 cents per round

"Clearly"?.... Really?.... You know, most people learn this stuff in the second grade. As I said in my above post... children. (Perhaps your mom called you in sick that day?) It would appear you have some serious catching up to do. As Shannow say's, "math is math".

https://www.math4texas.org/Page/379

"When using the dollar sign and decimal, students should understand that the decimal represents the word and. For example, $0.78 would be read as zero dollars and 78 cents."

"49 cents can be written as 49¢ or $0.49
 
Wow, just wow. You don't see how your last quote contradicts your argument? The decimal with the dollar sign works. The decimal with the cents sign doesn't, regardless of what some math illiterate sellers advertise.
And here I thought Shannow might have been wrong for once until I squinted my beady eyes and saw the offending decimal point. As usual, he wasn't.

So now all of a sudden, it's the lack of a dollar sign in my post that is causing you all of this dismay, and not the use of a decimal. And this because the cent sign somehow confuses you, because it just, "doesn't work". Seriously?... You are telling me you were totally lost without a dollar sign to properly guide you and the others, in order to understand we are describing cost per round in cents.

I'm curious, if you require that in order to catch on, just what did you think we were actually talking about, as you were wandering around so lost without that dollar sign to guide you? Since now the decimal doesn't appear to be the culprit after all. Which is what started this whole circle jerk in the first place.
 
No, I wasn't lost at all. I just thought Shannow made a math mistake until I looked closer and saw he was correct. And reread what I wrote. Don't restate it as something different, then attack your misinterpretation.

There is no misinterpretation. I'm "attacking" your complete lack of common sense. Along with your lack of understanding of what a second grader already knows. You and the rest have been complaining how using decimals describing cents is incorrect. Shannow seemed completely confused by it. Now, after I posted my second grade link showing it IS correct, you start in on dollar and cents signs, as to what is actually confusing you. Not decimal points. Nice shuffle but it doesn't work. You told me, "The dollar sign works... The cents sign doesn't". Your words not mine. I never used a cents sign. I spelled it out for you. How much clearer can I make it? And yet somehow you're still confused. And are trying to backpedal your way out of this idiotic argument you lost several posts ago.

The first sentence of my first post. Please tell me what it is that has you so completely dumbfounded? Is it the correct use of the decimal? Or is it you don't understand the word "cents", because I spelled it out? We've already established Shannow's problem. He doesn't relate to decimals as used in monetary nomenclature. Perhaps he was missing in class that day in the second grade as well. I'm simply trying to establish your problem with this. Is it dollar signs or decimals?

It's not correct. It isn't .65 cents, it is .65 dollars a round (which is an unconventional way of saying it.) If you want to use a decimal point instead of "cents" then $0.65 would be correct - which is exactly how the website says it:



.65 cents a round would be less than a penny each, that would make the box cost 13 cents or $0.13.

Explain the difference?.... Never mind, I'll do it for you seeing as you are having so much trouble understanding decimals.

Catching on here yet?

There is no decimal point in the answer:



Is your ego really that big that you haven't caught on yet? Because I refuse to believe it's ignorance. If you can't comprehend the difference between .65 cents and .65 dollars I don't really know what to say. Granted I have taken math through advanced differential equations, but this goes back to grade school.

No it wouldn't. Look, I'm not going to jump on you for this because I know you are not that stupid. You're just so desperate to try to win an argument so bad, you're making yourself look foolish in the process. I know this place thrives on petty, stupid arguments. But in 65 years I have never heard ANYONE translate what you have just said. Stop and take a breath of fresh air. Again, just for you.
