That's a line I've used a lot, mostly because it's true, but also because it gets me a laugh. But that's a problem because being hopeless with math makes us putty in the hands of retail- ers. Being hopeless at math is costing us money fusing. aversion to math costs us money: The number 9. Amazingly, 65 percent of all retail prices end in the number 9. Unconsciously, we're charmed into believing the item is a bargain. Both Steve Jobs, who came up with the 99-cent app, and the guy in California who founded the 99 Cents Only stores have made millions off this human quirk. Retailers use 9 on purpose to lure us into buying something because they know we'll assume it's been dis- counted. Here are three ways that our Simply being aware of how retailers use the number 9 can break their spell over us. Whenever you see a price ending with a 9, stop and think about what's going on. -- Intentional confusion. It's a trick retailers use all the time: A confused customer is more likely to opt for the higher-price deal. An item marked "5 for $4" prompts us to buy five items for $4, not one item for $.80, because it's too con- off is the same as a 50- percent increase in the quantity. Let me show you: If the regular price is $1 for 3 pounds, 33 percent off means you get 3 pounds for $.66, or $.22 per pound.

Now it's easy to compare. know how to do the math and they simply guess. Thirty-three percent Which is the better deal: 33 percent off the regular price or 33 percent more product for the same price? Studies show that most people go for the 33-percent more deal because they don't $279 model because it appeared to be 40 percent cheaper and therefore a great deal. The same tactic is in play when you see a big display in the supermarket with a sign that reads "Special!" If you are not up on your prices, you'll fall for every trick that retailers have up their sleeves to get us to spend more money. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate -- Price ignorance. In his book "Priceless," author William Pound- stone tells the story of retailer Williams-Sonoma and a $279 bread maker. Sales were lagging, so they placed a nearly identical machine next to the $279 bread maker with a price tag of $429. Immediately sales doubled on the Getting good with math, I'm discovering, starts with my attitude. That's why I am never again going to tell myself or anyone else that I'm bad with math. And while I'm forcing myself to figure out per unit-prices on the fly, I also know a pocket calculator is my friend, too.
