How much is a billion....?? divided by 40 million....

[mrvette]

A billion bux has a ONE, followed by 3 groups of 3 zeros each..... 1,000,000,000 or a thousand million.....

and so Ca. has roughly 40 million illegals.......that is 40,000,000 right??

so we knock off all the zeros that don't count, make that TEN billion bux Ca. spends on illegals/year so we knock off all the zeros....and divide

10,000 by 40 and get.......only 250 bux/person??? don't sound right to me.....

:issues: would it be correct to add back the two groups of zeros to the result???

No, no matter how you want to slice and dice it, $10 Billion divided by 40 Million illegals is $250 per individual.

$25?

The entire population of CA is 38.8 million.

There should be a poll so we can vote on math questions.

i read this earlier without replying, and thought Gene and math....what could possibly go wrong? :rofl:

GIGO - garbage in (wrong numbers of illegals), garbage out.

[OddBall]

I thought there were only 11 million illegals in the country.

[Jobaka]

I thought there were only 11 million illegals in the country.

Plus the 40 million in CA.

I tried to do that, I really did. But I'm weak.

Yea, there's a lot of south of the border folks around here but I wouldn't bet on it being 40M for all of California.

Plus the 40 million in CA.

Maybe he was including Baja California in his numbers.

don't ask, just move along.
