How many times have you seen a sign in a supermarket that read: CARROTS: 0.35c/dozen To me, that means 35/100 of a cent for a dozen carrots. What a deal! Acceptable ways of writing the sign are: CARROTS: $0.35/dozen or CARROTS: 35c/dozen -Jack "I love carrots" Applin {hplabs,csu-cs,hp-pcd,nwuxd}!hp-dcd!jack
