geoffvalenti Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Leaving CJ out of this for the moment. It was just the complicated (to me) calculations that were cited as a simple maths example that amused/bemused me. I haven't seen the invoice, and as I said before, am not taking sides, I just chuckled at the first bit which said, "pretty basic" and then went on to say "This expands to" After that I reached for the aspirins I'm sure its perfectly correct, its just not, to the layman, simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Originally posted by THOR Racing Here is a simple maths example... If the total before discount was X and X = A+B (call them two parts of a bill) Then the discounted total would have been X - (10% of X) = Y or X*90% = Y Pretty basic. This expands to (A+B)*90% = Y which is A*90% + B*90% = Y So any refund of say..... "A" would actually be A*90% = A' Lol! at Geoff Indeed the calculations are quite correct But imo - just a fancy algebraic way of showing the following: Job A & Job B cost £250 quid each. So cost £500 in total. With a 10% discount that's £450 total charge. OR £225 for Job A & £225 for Job B. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the calculation doesnt take into account CJ's petrol or 2 days off Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Wow that was hard work.... If I understand CJ's point correctly, the crux is the fact that the car ran significantly worse afterwards than before it was touched? Is that incorrect?

Is that incorrect? If that is the case, then surely its just one persons word against another. The car obviously had issues when it arrived, so it would be very hard to prove that it was worse when it left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
