Sushi is healthy because (aside from rice) it's lots and lots of good protein.

If you worked out for an hour and crave sushi - that's excellent.

Much better than working out for an hour and craving hot fudge sundaes.

Man, I suck at math.

Yeah, me too- though I am very proud of myself for being able to do the problem when I was calculating the % part!

HALP!

(x-72) + 2 = 15%

X being the price of the stock that must be hit in order to get a rate of return of 15%. It's currently at $72/a share and dividend payout is $2/share.

I don't know how to solve for X

I think you're missing either a multiplier or a diviser in there somewhere.

Would it be "(72+2)+((72+2)*.15)=X" or something like that (I'm not quite sure where to work the +2 into it)?

My phone apparently had a seizure.

Scola, you MUST go to Secret Science Club!!! That's awesome!

The rice is sushi isn't as bad as people think, *from a glycemic standpoint.* (For people who flee carbs, well, then yeah, you're fucked.) But the vinegar that's used in sushi rice makes it lower on the glycemic index than non-sushi white rice (yes, that's despite the fact that sushi rice has sugar in it; go figure).

I can't quite tell if that's the right equation, but (x-72) + 2 is just x-70.

Good to know! I don't know from the food science but sushi just seems to me like a pretty healthy kind of food. Plus delicious! And I've been craving it all week. But I have a great big, also delicious, salad for lunch so I'll have to get it another day.

Yeah, I know what I need to do- figure out what (x-72)+2 is and then divide that by 72 to get the 15%, but I don't know how to make everything play nice together so I can do that.
