So, I played this game called League of Legends the other day, and there’s this character, Ezreal, who’s pretty cool. I saw a skin for him called Striker Ezreal that looked awesome, but I had no clue how much it cost. I started digging around to find out the price.
First, I checked out the in-game store. I found Striker Ezreal, and guess what? It was priced at 520 Riot Points. I had never bought Riot Points before, so I needed to figure out how much that was in real money.
I went to the Riot Games website to see how much Riot Points cost. They had different packages, and I had to do some quick math. It turned out that to get enough points for the skin, I’d have to spend around 5 bucks. Not too bad, I thought.
Since I’m a bit of a skin fanatic, I also looked up other skins in the same “Soccer Cup” theme. There was this one called “Red Card Twisted Fate,” which was interesting. But honestly, my heart was set on Striker Ezreal. It just had that cool vibe, you know?
Then I started thinking about how people price things in general. It got me curious, so I started checking out different calculators online. I saw one that estimated the price of diamonds based on stuff like carat, cut, and clarity. It was pretty neat how they could estimate the price range just by inputting some details.
- Then I found another calculator for used cars.
- They used this formula where you divide the mileage by 10,000, divide the price by 1,000, and then multiply the results.
- Seemed like a simple way to get a rough estimate.
I even stumbled upon a sales tax calculator. You just put in the price before tax and the tax rate, and it tells you the sales tax amount and the final price. Super handy for online shopping.
There were a bunch of other calculators too, like ones for mortgages, investments, and even building costs. It’s crazy how many things you can calculate these days. There was even something about “Section 1245 property” gains, but that was way over my head.
Oh, and I read something about a biologist using a “transect” to measure stuff. I guess pricing and calculations show up in all sorts of fields.
Anyway, back to Ezreal. After all that digging, I finally bought the Striker Ezreal skin. I used my credit card, the transaction was smooth, and boom, the skin was mine. Now I can run around in the game with my cool new skin, feeling pretty satisfied with my little pricing adventure.
It’s funny how a simple thing like wanting a cool skin in a game led me down this rabbit hole of pricing and calculations. But hey, it was a fun little journey, and I even learned a few things along the way. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some games to win with my awesome new Striker Ezreal skin!
