Transcript

00:03

Here's your Shmoop dujour, brought to you by dollar bills.

00:07

They are so money.

00:23

We're not sure why Tran feels the need to rub it in Malcolm's face

00:26

that he's more well-off than his friend, financially speaking.

00:29

We don't want to get in the middle of that. We've learned that lesson the hard way.

00:33

We need to put our finger on exactly how much Tran is worth.

00:36

We're guessing he didn't make it onto this years' Fourbs' 400 list.

00:40

Now it might seem like this is the part where we turn everything into an equation.

00:47

But actually we don't need to do any of that stuff.

00:50

If we just read the question carefully,

00:52

we see that Malcolm has $12 and Tran has $5 more than that.

00:59

It's just 12 + 5 = 17. Answer D.

01:04

Malcolm screwed up that math.

01:05

We can see why he'd have trouble getting a decent job.
