New Tickers Calculate Money Saved...Is it Right?

[barry]

So, today just happens to be my 160th day quit.  When I created my ticker, I used 30 cigarettes a day and $5/pack. My ticker calculates that out to be $798.54.  Since it’s all nice round numbers, I come up with $1,200. 

 

30 cigarettes = 1.5 packs * 5 * 160

 

798.54/160 = approximately $5

 

Seems the math is defaulting to a pack a day, regardless of what you enter.

 

No complaint, given how much I paid for my ticker.  Just curious what the underlying math is that it uses.

@MarylandQuitter, is this the right place to post questions like the above?

I think I figured out how to enter the data so that it is correct.  So maybe nevermind. ?

Perhaps something needd tweaked in the program.  I'll look into it.
