The #Corporation for #Public #Broadcasting has a #budget of $500 million out of the U.S. government’s $6.75 trillion. To put it in perspective: if you earned $50,000, that’s like cutting just $3.75 annually. Or, the #military could fund #CPB by buying 115 #F-35 jets instead of 120. #FunWithMath

#FunWithMath follow-up

Microsoft is worth $4 Trillion. How big is that number? That’s enough to:

-Give every #K–12 #teacher a $10K housing credit + $5K in classroom supplies
-Give every K–12 #school $100K for upgrades
-Give every #student free lunch

And we could do this every year...for 35 years

What if American #wealth was the USA? Top 1% (340k) would occupy 25 red states. The next 9% (33.6M) would be 14 green states. Together they own 70% of the land. The next 40% (136M) would fit in the blue states, while the bottom 50% (170M) would live in Nebraska. #powerful

Amount formally requested to be cut via #DOGE: $9.4 billion.
USA budget: $6.75 trillion
Median individual income, USA: $42,200.

Meaning, if #Congress approves all the cuts, the budget impact is the same as an average #American cutting $4.86 per month from their budget. #math

#FunWithMath #Microsoft posted a net quarterly profit of $25.82 billion. They then laid off 6000 workers w/ a median salary of $125k. How long will it take to make up the salary of these workers?

translation: #msft makes $750,000,000 in less than 3 days.

#FunWithMath: #Denmark has at most 8 medical bankruptcies per year (almost all due to experimental or alternative treatments.) The total number of medical bankruptcies that occur in Denmark over 173 years would equal the number of medical bankruptcies that happen in just one day in the USA.

#FunWithMath: Approximately 505,000 Americans are estimated to file for bankruptcy each year due to medical debt. To put that into perspective, every 9 weeks, the number of people filing for medical #bankruptcy is roughly equivalent to the entire population of #Greenland.

One of my favorite random coincidence #MathFacts is the link between the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21...) and converting miles to KM: 3 miles is a 5k, 5 miles is an 8k, 8 miles is a 13k, 13 miles is a 21k...) It isn't perfect, but after 5k it is within 1% #MathChat #FunWithMath #MSChat

#FunWithMath - the US withdrawal from the WHO will save about $270 million from the federal budget. This is the equivalent of someone making $40,000 cutting about $6 from their annual budget. Or, in other words, the US is saving the equivalent of $0.50 per month
