It appears that MSNBC anchors think 18.4 cents is about 20% of $3.40.
You don't have to be some autistic math wiz to know that it at least sounds wrong. I mean, round 18.4 up to 20 cents, and 20% is 1/5, so multiply by 5 and... um, gas is more than a dollar a gallon now right? I haven't owned a car in 11 years and even I know that's not close.
One thing is for sure, if you are a waiter you do not want these people tipping you. "Hmm, bill for dinner is 30 bucks so what's a generous tip, $1.84? Heck, let's make it two bucks. That's about 20% right?"
