I was at McDonald's today looking for an Asian salad when I noticed something odd:
Double Cheeseburger = $1.00
Cheeseburger = $1.09
Would that make a Triple Cheeseburger = $.91?

No, it would be 28 cents:
Using the formula 1.09 - (((9 ^ (s - 1)) - 1) * 9)where s is the number of beef slabs, a single slab cheeseburger is $1.09, a double is a buck and a triple is 28 cents.
And how many people remember that the ^ symbol is the exponent operator from Dartmouth BASIC? I coulda messed up the formula, but it's close enough for McDonald's.
