Из статьи в Нью-Йорк Таймс:

A paper by Kris Gerardi of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Lorenz Goette of the University of Geneva and Stephan Meier of Columbia University asked a battery of simple financial literacy questions of recent homebuyers. Many of the respondents could not correctly answer even simple questions, like this one: What will a $300 item cost after it goes on a “50 percent off” sale? (The answer is $150.)

То, что я выделил в скобках - наглядно демонстрирует, что Таймс знает, с кем имеет дело - очевидно, их основной контингент вряд ли сможет поделить 300 на 2 без подсказки.
