George Watson, Matthew Johnson, Devpreet Surae

Abstract


In the very popular comedy cartoon, The Simpsons, Marge accidentally allows her baby girl Maggie on to the supermarket checkout. She is scanned and charged at either $243.26 or $847.63. In this paper, the total cost for Maggie in all of these episodes is calculated. It is deduced that Marge has spent $186,695.27 as of March 14th 2016. By the end of this current season, 27, she will have spent $187,223. This is enough to purchase a house in areas of Leicester.
