What Skills Do You Need To Be Rich?(1)

It might be obvious, but you should have some math skills.

First of all you should know the for basic operations and how to deal with the percentages.

Of course, you need to know to read and write. "Hey, I am not a moron!" you probably think, but having this skills is a must.

Why?

Look at this situation: you want to buy XY-Cola and you find that you can get

A) one pack with six cans for 10$ or

B) one pack with 8 cans for 12$. Which one should you buy?

The point here is to determine how much a single can costs.

For A) that is 10$/6 and for

B) it is 12$/8. And what now?

You should compare the numbers 10/6 and 12/8 with some help of calculator you can find that in the first case the cost of a single can is 1.66$ and in the second case it is 1.5$.

That means that the second offer is better.
