    Dell Math: $1710 - $386 = $1549

    Reader Jonathan sends us a screenshot from Dell with the message, "Dell needs a new calculator." The receipt from Dell lists the "unit price" of a laptop at $1710.00, then at the bottom shows a discount of $386 dollars...resulting in a "subtotal" of $1549. Either their math is wrong, or this is the worst receipt ever. Where did the extra $161 come from? Shouldn't that sort of thing be clearly marked? —MEGHANN MARCO
