Telephone Math

 

Can you figure out why this works?

 

1.    Type into a calculator the first 3 digits of your phone number (not the area code--your prefix)

2.    Multiply by 80

3.    Add 1

4.    Multiply by 250

5.    Add the last 4 digits of your phone number

6.    Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again

7.    Subtract 250

8.    Divide by 2

 

Is this your phone number?
