OK, probably a No Child Left Behind syndrome. Keep working on it, it might come to you in time.

Does that mean you don't know how to answer my question?

Then maybe you can explain why when you reverse it you get something completely different.

Because 72% of 722 is not the same as 72% of 419.

So, then basically what I had in my first post in this thread was correct. The price of tags in Finney Co. is 41.97% less than Ford Co.

722.04 - 41.97% = 418.999812

Yes, but your question was how VP came up with the 72% number.

It still confuses me to some extent that Ford Co. is 72% higher than Finney Co. Yet the other way is Finney Co. is only 41.97% lower.


72% higher sounds quite a bit worse than 42% lower even though they are the same numbers.....

17 posts on the math. I am "?"

Getting back to the original post. How many people think that our standard of living here in Ford County is 72% higher than Finney County? 50%? 25%?

Do we have better schools, roads, zoos, city government buildings, library, jails or police protection then Finney County?

What do we have that Finney County does not have? Well, we have Boothill. We have a rodeo arena. We have a advisory board that gives our tax money away to every group that asks for it.

Do I want to list what Finney County has? Home Depot, Sam's Club on the way, etc.

Come elections our tax rate in comparison to everyone else around us should be at the top of our list for deciding who we are going to elect to the City and County seats.
