Sweet! Need to be faster on the next contest

I do. Haha. Trying to get better at posting. I did really well, now I want to take more time in my posts, or wait for a good lesson plan I can put up for people.

I understand ☺ I was thinking of me, I need to be faster to answer, to get 1st prize 😜

I hope I used my calculator correctly since I forgot how to use it (I'm surprised the battery is still powering it!) The math itself is simple enough.

Yes you did! Congratulations on your steem!
