Now, Im sure its not Noel Howard's fault, but his projected price of $80.00 is a bit off. Heres how I figure it, with current exchange rates...
Actual Bag: 20 pounds = $28.3280
Shiping : 15 pounds = $21.2458
Total : 35 pounds = $49.5740
Theres a diference of $30.4260 between the projected $80, and the actual total of $49.5740. In order for there to be $80, it would cost 56.4813 pounds, and not 35 pounds. So there, a difference of 21.4813 pounds.
WOW! I have no life to figure this stuff out. Perhaps there is a mistake in my math, and do correct me if I am wrong. But if my math is correct, I would save $30. Of course, banks always figure this stuff out anyway.
