re: How long ago did Fanis dad buy lunch for the three of them for $9.95?

Pretax? A lot of items end in 95 or 99. But after tax is added it ends up at an odd number.


The exceptions to that are when a business will price an item with tax in mind so that it comes out to an even dollar amount. A store may make a drink about $1.81 so that it totals out to $2 even after tax.



My guess is that he pulled an amount out of his arse based on the likely pretax cost of the meal.
