That is the hardest thing to explain to certain female acquaintances of mine!
She cannot under stand why 50% off and 20% off leaves 40% instead of 30%. (secret is to use '50% left and 80% left when figgering.) Thus 50%(.5) x 80%(.8) = 40%(.4)
I think that maybe I can understand why she gets confused.
Explain it with real nickels and dimes and a hypothetical two dollar sale with discounts.

That would not work either!:(
It still requires an attention span and an ability to consider multi-step sequences.

Hmmmm, me thinks there is a greater issue here that none of us understand or can adequately cope with. The love of my life can assemble the most beautiful very tiny pieces of fabric into gorgeous quilt blocks. On the other hand cannot even begin to conceive have joints fit togehter to create a wooden object. Good luck. Jim
