It sounds like a lot of non-cents to me. I've never been pro cent anyway. They could destroy all those pennies, and it would not bother me at all. Cutting up celery can cause a scent-sation but its just a cheap thrill.

OK, let's break it down:

12 pounds @ 16 ounces per pound = 192 ounces

So if you divide 5.5/192, you get 0.02864

Move the decimal place two places to the right, and you have your answer: 2.864%
