According to your math, we underpaid 14% for that ounce of silver.

According to my math, you paid spot ($15) + 86% of spot (another $13) for a total of $28.

Now if you understood division, you could see that 28/15=1.8666, that is more than 180% of the value ($15) of the silver.

Glad I could help.

Could you figure out my profit on Ebay today on a Ron Paul Silver Dollar? One went for 330. One went for 399. Thanks.

But according to your math, wouldn't that be 186 percent?
