I guess you all would've known by now about the 5 cents round up implementation. The abolishments of the 1 cent coin isnt so big a deal unless u factor in those sentimental blah blah. It's a good thing too, my mom wouldnt hv to keep bugging me to take those 1 cent coins anymore. There, another reduction of stress for her.
What i find peculiar about that radio announcement was:
xx: ...the cost will be rounded up to nearest 5 cents. Numerically - 1,2 and 6,7 will be rounded down while 3,4 and 8,9 will be rounded up.
Nthg wrong there!
xx: .. that this includes not only the individual item but also the final bill.
Now now, i was thinking that if the individual items will be rounded up or down, where the heck will there be a need to round up the final bill. You wouldnt find a .x6 cents or 7,8,9,1,2,3,4. Your final bill will either end with (.x5 or .x0) rite? ........... or is there a formula for changing zero and fives to other numbers w/o using mathematics?
