***3/2/25 I spend about RM10 a day on cigarette

To be rich, I either make more money or spend less:

if 1 box of 12 cigarettes is RM8, and I smoke 16 sticks a day. How much is that a month and and year?

Let’s break this down step by step:

Given:

• 1 box of cigarettes = 12 sticks

• Cost per box = RM 8

• Smoking rate = 16 sticks per day

---

Step 1: Calculate the number of boxes needed per day

You smoke 16 sticks per day, and each box contains 12 sticks.

$$\text{Boxes per day}=\frac{16\text{ sticks}}{12\text{ sticks/box}}=1.333\text{ boxes/day}$$

---

Step 2: Calculate the daily cost

Each box costs RM 8.

$$\text{Daily cost}=1.333\text{ boxes/day}\times RM8\mathrm{/}\text{box}=RM10.67\mathrm{/}\text{day}$$

---

Step 3: Calculate the monthly cost

Assuming a month has 30 days:

$$\text{Monthly cost}=RM10.67\mathrm{/}\text{day}\times 30\text{ days}=RM320\mathrm{/}\text{month}$$

---

Step 4: Calculate the yearly cost

Assuming a year has 365 days:

$$\text{Yearly cost}=RM10.67\mathrm{/}\text{day}\times 365\text{ days}=RM3,895.55\mathrm{/}\text{year}$$

---

Final Answer:

• Monthly cost = RM 320

• Yearly cost = RM 3,895.55
