Who really wants to use Excel to figure out if the 24-pack of Coca-Cola or the 3 12 packs is a better deal?

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 6 points 7 months ago

I don't need to, there's a legal requirement to print prices per liter or kg on every price tag here.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Does this requirement exist for toilet paper? Because I don't know what the hell is considered a better deal based on all the marketing.

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 2 points 7 months ago

Sadly, no. Paper towels and toilet paper are evil. Different sizes rolls with different amounts of sheets with different layers with different prices.

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de -3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

But if you want to buy only half a kg, you don't know how much it costs (if you dont know basic maths)- because it only lists the price for a full kg. Do you start pulling out your Excel for that?

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 2 points 7 months ago

Every offer lists how much per kg that offer is. So I do not need any calculations to see which offer is cheaper at all. Why would the price per kilo become useless of I only buy half a Kilo?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Because one is on sale, and they didn't update the sale price. Or, alternatively, because you don't want to be an idiot that can't do basic math.

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de -2 points 7 months ago

You don't know how much you need to pay for it if you only know the price of 1kg but you buy half a kilo.

Rewe also sells products by weight (mainly unpackaged fruits and vegetables).

...do you not understand how basic math works?

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago

...do you not understand how basic math works?

I do, actually. My whole point was that you need basic maths in your everyday life even though you have a calculator on your phone. You jumped right into the 6th comment in this thread without reading what this is about, didn't you?

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 1 points 7 months ago

Can we just fir half a second point out that the original comment was that the use of the real Pi (3.14...) is a great opportunity to teach pupils how to use a calculator for numbers like Pi.
