Cecilia second math class

I am not use how to mimic the symbol for poke-money so I when with the one for USA.

Pokemon is not mine


Hello, everyone; let's have a fun class today," Tyme said. The class replied in ways that said that morning wasn't their favorite time. "Tell me, do all of you enjoy shopping?"

'That depends on what you're shopping for,' Cecilia thought, as the students seemed to be split between yes and no. Nemona was among those who said yes.

"The examples are buying tasty bread or choosing new clothes. Even if you just window shop, it is so much fun." Tyme continued, "Shopping is what I'm going to use and is my favorite hobby to teach you math for this lesson."

Most of the boys in the class grunted while an equal number of girls giggled. Cecilia snorted in amusement.

Tyme chuckled. "I'm sure you've visited a Pokemart or the student store at least once. They sell all sorts of Pokemon-related items like Pokeballs, one of the most useful items ever made, and they sell at $200 each." That was the universal price even in the East, though it was said that it was $100 in Kanto as of late. "Now, I would like all of you to think with me. If you had $2000 and a Pokemon ball was $200, how much would you receive if you used all your money?"

"Ten?" a few asked uncertainly after counting with their fingers or the calculator.

"I'm sorry, that seems like a tricky question," Tyme said, almost as if it was expected.

"Eleven," Cecilia said, sounding more confident than her classmates.

"That is correct. Well done, Cecilia," Tyme said with a smile. "It might sound strange to most of you, as $2000 only gets you ten Pokeballs. However, you get an extra one if you buy ten or more. This applies to any type of Pokeball, not just the standard one."

"What is the ball?" one curious student asked.

"It's a special one called a Premier Ball, which is why the answer is eleven, not ten," Tyme explained. "It's nice to get gifts like that when shopping."

Cecilia put a note on some paper about how every ten balls got you one extra and to try it next time she was out getting supplies.

"Now, this might be a more straightforward question. The first one was about spending money. Now, this one is the opposite—selling items to get money," Tyme said, starting on the next part. "Another essential item is a potion and its more powerful versions."

'They can get expensive, and the more an item costs, the more you get back, though not the same as what it costs in the first place; it is always less.' Cecilia thought.

"Now, I believe that the price of a standard potion changes depending on where it is bought," Tyme said. "So, please don't interrupt me on the price I use for this example. It might be sold for $150 in Hoenn, but here in Paldea, it's not."

"Okay," grumbled some students who could very well be from that region.

"Alright, now for the question." Tyme looked like she was thinking about how to word the question before deciding. "If you have ten potions in your bag, and the selling price is $50, how much can you get if you sell all ten?"

The class was silent. The only sound was the clicking of calculators and the rustling of paper. Cecilia used both, checking her work.

"Do you have the answer, Cecilia? "Nemona seemed to be just as stumped.

"Maybe, the problem is that I've never sold anything I didn't need, not even empty potion bottles," Cecilia muttered. She mainly put the bottles into the tin for them. After a minute, she said, "It's $500 as 10 X 50=500."

"That question was harder than the first one," Tyme noted sheepishly. "But that is correct. The answer is 500. it is always good to know the selling price. It might not be a lot, but getting something back if needed."

The bell rang to the relief of most of the class.

"Oh, that is the bell." Tyme said, "I suppose that's all for now. What a shame."

Cecilia snorted, her head hurt from all the math she just had.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next class, and I hope you're looking forward to it too," Tyme said before waving them off.


AN: That math is correct, and so are the prices. If you look up the item on a Pokemon Wiki, you can see it. Some games seem to have differnt selling prices for iteams hance the differnt between between Hoenn and Paldea. the $100 in kanto has to do with Let's go P+E having a differnt price for Poke ball.

as a funny story I had to check the selling question by selling the right number of potions at a mart in game.

please comment,follow, and favorte.
