Math problems

While wasting time at work I noticed a slight ambiguity in the hop prices over at homebrewing.org, I've never ordered anything from them, and don't have anything bad to say about them at all. Except, that I noticed they are selling all leaf hops at $2.25 an ounce, or a full pound for $49.99.

Now, I must admit that I did go to a public school, but I'm pretty sure that $2.25 X 16 =$36, not $49.99.

What's up with that? I've emailed them this same question and am awaiting a response.

Now, back to wondering if my beer is ruined because X happened.

It could just be that they're trying to discourage buying a whole pound by pricing high.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought, and that's the response I got from them as well. My only problem with that is that price is not unreasonably high for Hawaii. My last trip to the homebrew shop, hops were $5 for 2 ounces, with a limit of 4 ounces total. Seems to me that they should just remove the listing if they aren't going to sell them in that quantity any longer.

As all the hops they are advertising are marked as "not available", it seems that the question is redundant.

-a.

 

Not redundant, just a moot point.

 

is it difference that one is weight and the other is volume? I am not sure if that could be it. I used to deal with them all the time when I lived in the area. He was very good to deal with and very helpful.
