Can you spot the wonky math?
Since when did 53+7+38 = 100?
It doesn't. Where's the missing 2%?
I'll give someone a cookie if they can figure it out...

Rounding error.
14/26 = 53.8 (should have used 54%)
2/26 = 7.7 (8%)
10/26 = 38.5 (always round to the even number when there is 0.5; 38%)
54+8+38=100
I like chocolate chip cookies, or snickerdoodles. With Cream Cheese frosting. hahahaha!
Voo, I missed the poll, but I would've voted for "whipped cream icing" if it had been a choice!! Yummy!!
Its not so much a rounding error but just the fact that apparently it always rounds down, instead of truly rounding. However, I disagree with Holly that with 0.5 you should round to the even number. I was always taught that you round .5 up.
