  You both are correct. I misspoke myself. (I am at the point of the learning
curve with the SAT that I am dangerous to myself and those around me !)
What I should have used was the difference between A4 and A5, which is -1.4
cents and not +9. (9 is the reading for the note A5 and relates to the
reading on A4 of 10.4 [Right?])
  Life with the SAT was so simple before this thread was started 'just stop
the lights'. Now because of this Math thread and posts by Jim C. Sr. and
others I want to know Why?, How ?, and What If ? Darned BBD!
