I've long bee accustomed to dealing with garbage math, mostly in retail sales. You see a product advertised at 50% off, you think you're getting it for half the cost when, often is the case, they either never sold it at the advertised price ($30, on sale for $15!) and you're essentially getting a product that costs the sale price and are being tricked OR they jack the price up BEFORE the sale price. It might be cheaper than what it's typically sold at, but it's not, say, 50% off, but more like 20% off and, again, they're tricking you. They rely on people not doing research and not understanding basic math.
