Oddly enough, I found this true.
I stopped at McDonald’s one night, kind of late (11 PM or so), to get a double cheeseburger and spicy chicken sandwich. They were $1.00 each, so $2.00 + tax. The teenage girl at the cash register said the cash register was down, and I needed to pay $3.00. I told her no, it’s $2.17, as tax is 8.25%. She asked how I knew it was $2.17, and I said you multiple the total by 1.0825, and that’s how much someone owes.
She had to write it down. And still asked me how I figured that out so quickly without a calculator.
