That's what I ended up getting my mom for her birthday. It's a candle that smells like pumpkin pie, then pecan pie, and then cranberry cobbler. I think it smells kind of like ass, but my mom's into this sort of thing. The good news is that it only cost $5. The bad news is that my mom insisted I pick up some 3M Command Strips for my other $5.
I love 3M tape hooks, but that sucks that you mom is a cunt (or to say that in a softer way, you mom is a connie... ha ha ha urban dictionary)
ReplyDeleteI wondered how many big, fat nails you could buy for $5.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a connie like that!
Well, a box of 250 is $3.00.
ReplyDeleteAfter setting up a simple ratio and cross multiplying we get:
300x = 125,000
Then we solve for x by dividing both sides by 300.
x = 416.666r
In a perfect world we could get 416 nails for $5.
However, you can't buy a partial box of nails, so all that work is irrelevant and the answer to your questions becomes one box of 250, or simply 250 nails.
Thank you so much for the answer. I think that you may have overspent on the 3M hooks, when a few good nails would have done the trick and been much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteNormally I'd agree but I guess my mom needed them to hang something on our steel (quite possibly aluminum) front door. There are still cheaper solutions, but I'd rather spend some extra money than put in the extra effort, especially just for an ugly wreath.
ReplyDeleteSo, she likes ugly wreaths and the smell of ass? What a woman!
