alright
so
i went to a convenience store
and i bought
four things
and i added up the prices in my head so i would know how much to pay
and it came out to 7.11
and then went i went to the register
i saw that the clerk had pressed the multiplication key instead of the addition key when calculating the price
and i was about to say something
but
lo and behold
the answer came out to the same thing
what were the prices of the four items?

I tried and tried and could not solve 7.11 = abcd = a + b + c + d. Does anyone want to take a stab at this challenge?

None.

Oh yeah, that was my bad that wasn't even helpful. I just glanced at the problem and didn't actually solve it, I just assumed the answer would have something to do with the factors of 711.

None.
