Can you believe I have problems handling a tiny wad of currency that’s worth less than S$20?
I can.
Close friends know I can’t number-crunch even if my life depended on it. When I was in HK, Char was amazed at how I failed to do simple mathematics. Haha! I did finally manage to divide by 6 (“6 is an odd figure to divide with!” I had complained) with some difficulty.
And now I have to divide by 6900.
Please send help.
There’s got to be a better way about this.
Until I do find the better way, I’ll remain highly dependent on my mobile’s calculator and let my Indonesian staff wonder about my ability to manage them.
Post-edited: I’d wanted to arrange the notes in ascending order. And I just realised I mis-saw 10,000 rupiah for 100,000. Fml.
simplest way: remove last 3 zeros then divide 7! that will give u a ballpark figure :)
THANK YOU! I know I could count on you. HAHAHA. Still, 7 is an odd figure to divide with! *grumbles*
Maybe u try to memorize these:
examples -
IDR 70,000 = SGD 10
IDR 140,000 = SGD 20
IDR 210,000 = SGD 30
so if you saw a price tag of IDR 120,000… u will know it’s slightly less than SGD20.
or when the price tag is IDR 200,000, u roughly know it’s about SGD30.
then dun need to torture your brain doing all the dividing.
Hmm good. I’ll also write this down on a paper for easy reference. Thanks so much!! <3
