In The Wizard, Morty is calculating a tip with the organizer Jerry bought for him. He says "how is 12.4%"? Jerry looks at the display and says the tip is $4.36666666666666

The only way you could get a non-repeating decimal like that is to divide a number by 3, not multiply it by 12.4%

Shouldn't it also have been $4.366666667? Why didn't the Wizard round the last decimal place off? These are not easy questions to answer, my friend.
