Shopping Spree!
Flip your imagination switch to the ON position and pretend that you entered a contest at the local mall to win a $1000.00 shopping spree at a toy store of your choice. Imagine the surprised look on your face when you’re called to the phone and told that you WON!
But wait! The surprised look on your face turns serious when you learn there’s a catch! You are informed that the total cost of all the toys you select must not exceed (go over) $1000.00, tax included. Also, the total cost of all the toys (tax included) must fall between $995.00 and $1000.00 or you lose everything.
“Not a problem!” you exclaim. “I have a secret weapon called a spreadsheet! I can make it do the math for me – right down to the very last penny! Show me the money!”
Here’s more good news! If you are able to spend EXACTLY $1000.00, tax included, you win an additional $500.00 “imaginary” cash to spend. Will YOU be the one? Good luck!
