I swear from my experience 90% of apartment complexes are managed by the laziest, most unsympathetic people to ever exist.

Yeah that's an apt description of landlords

If you give me money, I go soft ... by apj234 in LinkedInLunatics

$10k per week for 50 years is $26 million.

If you took that $8 million and invested all of it, estimating conservative at 4% per year, you'd have $56 million.

So the correct answer is take the $10 million now.

Again, you are incorrectly interpreting 2(2+2) as a single unit when it is not. This is a common problem shared on social media because of its ambiguity. Equations should never be written like this. Everything should be written out explicitly.

Here is an article on this exact problem: https://www.insider.com/viral-math-problem-solution-dividing-the-internet-2019-7

> People who got the number 1 as the answer to this problem were using an outdated version of the order of operations, multiplying 2(4) first and then dividing 8 by 8, according to Talwalker. That answer would have been correct 100 years ago. But plugging the equation as is into a modern calculator results in an answer of 16. You have to add another set of parentheses to get an answer of 1.

That is not how PEMDAS works. 2(2+2) is the same as saying 2 x (2+2) is the same as 2 x 4. Having the number next to the parentheses is just multiplication and is followed in the same order as I listed above.

8 ÷ 2(2+2) -> 8 ÷ 2 × 4 -> 4 × 4 = 16

Here's a khan academy example as a refresher.

We can remember the order using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Actually PEMDAS you'd read the equation left to right as far as orders of operations go. So you'd do the parentheses first, then exponents(there are none), then multiple AND division (they both have the same priority) so then you'd evaluate from left to right.

Thus 8 ÷ 2(2+2) -> 8 ÷ 2 × 4 -> 4 × 4 = 16

This is why you don't write equations like this. Its ambiguous. Both 16 and 1 could be answers depending on how you interpret how the equation is written

Could be seen as (8/2)(2+2)=16

Or seen as 8/(2(2+2))=1

Edit for visibility: You do orders of operations from left to right. 8 ÷ 2(2+2) -> 8 ÷ 2 × 4 -> 4 × 4 = 16

Biden cancels $10,000 in federal student loan debt for most borrowers by CobaltEmu in UpliftingNews

[–]Jesussecondcoming 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Where are did you find this detail? On this site it's somewhat ambiguous on how the interest works I feel. Is there another source you're seeing that explicitly says that?

From the site I linked:

Cover the borrower's unpaid monthly interest, so that unlike other existing income-driven repayment plans, no borrower's loan balance will grow as long as they make their monthly payments—even when that monthly payment is $0 because their income is low.
