0.0594 bitcoins is rounded up by 0.000072 bitcoins.

Teach a man to fish.....math lesson for the day.  Cross multiplication.

Where X = bitcoin value you are trying to determine, Y = dollar amount you wish to know bitcoin value for, and Z = current price of 1 bitcoin

X/1 = Y/Z

X/1 = 7.70/129.79  (SR value at time of this posting)

129.79X = 7.70

X= 7.70/129.79

X= 0.059326605

Since one side of the equation always has a denominator of 1, a quick shortcut, just divide the amount you wish to know the exchange rate for by the current value of 1 BTC.   7.70/129.79

 :D

Man ,,,+1 to both of ya.
I guarantee I could have done that easily in 1979,  6th grade algebra. I was good at math at 1 time. Once I looked at it , it pretty much made easy, simple sense.

Thanks Guys!!

Isn't it amazing how much we forget over time when we don't use it.  I used to speak 4 languages,  now I can barely speak 1. ;)

And some people think SilkRoad is just all about drugs. You can get math lessons here also and that's just one of the many extras for riding the road. Love this place.
