I’m going to go and sit at the back of the class. Grabbing the dunce cap on the way..

Someone show me what was wrong with his math.

I see 500m/327m= 1.53m. I don’t see how it can only be one hundred and fifty three cents.

“I see 500m/327m= 1.53m. I don’t see how it can only be one hundred and fifty three cents.”

Try it this way => 500,000,000/327,000,000 = ___?

Think of it this way: He's got 500 million. How many people can he give 500 million to?

Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over.

Simple subtraction: 500,000,000 minus 327,000,000 equals 173,000,000. The statement is factually correct.

You also have to divide the M by the M, which cancels them out.

This is Third Grade arithmetic. In your post, the ms cancel out.
