McKenna's Loft Bed Set - Is It Worth Your Money?

Every year for each for each Girl of the Year from American Girl, she has at least one big item. Last year, Kanani had a Shave Ice Stand and in 2010, Lanie had a big camper. This year, the only big item McKenna has so far is her Loft Bed. The Bed is $225. It's a lavender purple with four posts, a built in ladder, decorative metal bed rails, a built in desk and memo board, slide shelf, and 2 hanging shelves that go under the loft bed. You also get a rug, bed for the dog, bedding, pillows, and a decorative metal chair to match the bed railing. As for as the accessories go, you get a doll-sized hamster cage with the hamster too, 3 hardcover books that are doll sized (Harry the Dirty Dog, Judy Moody, and Charlotte's Web), a doll-sized alarm clock, trophy, lamp, 3 faux pencils, a notepad, a confidence letter from her mom, bumper stickers, a mirror, heart note, and stickers. The ladder is built in on the closed side of the bed.

Now for the real question: is it worth $225?

I am going to simply take this question into mathematics.

Technically, there are about a total of 28 things that come with this set besides the bed itself and the decorative stickers for her bed (not the bumper stickers). 

So here's where the math comes in...

So, since our quotient (answer) of the item (problem) is 8.0357, we have to round to the nearest whole so we take the last two digits and round them up or down. Above 5, we round to $9 and below 5, we stay at $8 as an estimate.

$8.03571429

Since the first two numbers are below 5, we round down to $8. 

That leaves $8 per item.

The price isn't too bad and since the bed is the main part, we can pretend to subtract $4 from $8 so in all, the bed is a very nice piece but you have to remember, the price is more high because this is a limited editon item. Whether you choose to buy it or not, try this math problem before you choose to buy from any company.

I hope you enjoyed this fun post! It was a lot of fun to make for you all. Thank you for reading!
