Why Math is Important

Often school kids will wonder, why is math important?
Here is a simple example of the importance of math or if you are not good at Math, you will most likely get ripped off.

Check out this piece of ecommerce
https://www.affordit.com/products/XBOX-360-Elite-white/?gclid=CO-g1Zf16p4CFShGagodfRYOKg
The deal is that you put down $89 and for only $19 a week for 18 weeks, you get an XBox 360.

So you are paying $89+ (19*18) = 431 for an item that goes for $299 at walmart.com or a 44% premium for being an idiot.
Imagine the lottery tickets or Jon & Kate + plus eight box sets you could buy!
