New math

Could someone explain to me the new math?

I read an article in the Oct. 20 issue of the Herald about an ex-airport maintenance chief steering money from a light bulb procurement program.

According to the article, it involved $9 million and 9,000 high tech LED light bulbs.

My math says that is $1,000 each. That is more than the Army has paid for their high tech toilet seats.

Of course it must have been easy to pocket a little more than $2 million with this new math.

Where do I sign up to learn it?
