A little bit over? WTF were you doing on % day at middle school?

what if the bill was $0.02, but instead you paid $0.04, rounding up to the nearest penny of course, the *percentage* would be a lot, but the gross amount is not.

For a camera in this class, an additional $150 is a little bit over. If all Beest has is two benjamins, then it's a dealbreaker. But when I buy stuff like this, I am counting on the quality of the product to let me amortize the cost over a longer useful lifetime.

"a little bit" is subjective, and I gave suitable caveats. My math nerd card is secure.
