Op take it easy

So,
she rounded 16.9 to 16
She rounded 6.9 to 6

Why didn't she round 23.9 to 23?

But she is still better than PdP that think 16 is greater than 19.

ofcos foq peace to reign 16 must be greater than 19, it take wisdom; just turn the number upside down...
meanwhile sometimes i wonder how virulent the governors forum would have been dismal during last regime if amechi had been greater tha jang...

After calculating and recalculating you people still got figure lower than 24.
Take it back to the drawing board, more padding is needed please.

In decimal rule, 23.9 is approx 24, you round up when decimal is =/>5

is economy about 2+2 or sound policy management? Why didn't you ask GEJ to resign when he said " how much did Nwobodo stole " instead of "how much did Nwobodo steal"? grin

There is nothing to take easy bros.
In calculation of this nature it is better to round off the last answer in order not to loss much precision. Her aproximation of the added figure is also inline because approximating it to a higher figure before using it in a calculation is wrong in financial scenario. For her to say N6.9 is N7.0 would av been wrong message because she was refering to the figure that is N6.0 Billion plus and not a N7.0B +.

The OP like Adeosun is just as terrible in math. I don't think you would have posted this to create a defense for her if you had knowledge of figure rounding.

The OP is correct (even 23.5=24).

If you rounp up 23.5 to be 24, when did 16.9 = 16 or 6.9= 6 Appr. In OP defence it should have been 23 and not 24.. Whatever defence is DOA nobody is above mistake even the OP wrote corect instead of correct (Topic)

what is the sense with this post? wonder when we start approximating figures when it comes to money. As an accountant one should know that N99.90K can never be said to be N100....NEVER!!!!. So stop all these nonsense.

if those figures are correct then she was as 99.9% correct as those figures. I wonder why we de bother ourselves.
