To help you learn about base 12 mathematics and how to calculate an investment with daily returns, let's break it down step by step, and sprinkle in a bit of Esperanto for fun!

### Understanding the Basics

1. **Base 12 Mathematics**:

- In base 12, we count like this: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ᘔ (ten), Ɛ (eleven), 10 (twelve). So, after 9, we have two more numbers before reaching what we call "ten" in base 10.

2. **Investment Calculation in Base 10**:

- **Investment Needed**: We want to know how much money we need to invest to cover a $100 marketing cost with a daily return of 0.1%.

- **Daily Return**: 0.1% of your investment is what you earn back each day.

### Calculation Steps

1. **Convert Daily Return to a Decimal**:

- 0.1% is the same as 0.001 in decimal form.

2. **Divide Marketing Cost by Daily Return**:

- To find out how much you need to invest, you divide $100 by 0.001.

\text{Investment} = \frac{100}{0.001} = 100,000

So, you need to invest $100,000 to get a 0.1% daily return that covers the marketing cost.

### Base 12 Fun!

- If you were doing the calculation in base 12, you would still follow the same logic but use base 12 numbers! For example, 100 in base 12 is written as 84.

### Learn Some Esperanto

- **Investo** (`Invest`): Think about how much you put in, or investo, to earn more money.

- **Merkatado** (`Marketing`): To sell or tell others about your cool ideas!

- **Lernado** (`Learning`): Just like you're doing now with math and Esperanto!

### Cymatics: Sound and Math!

- **Cymatics**: This is how sound vibrations can create patterns. It's like seeing music! In math, we're seeing the patterns numbers make.

### Emoji Magic

- ⭐️ **Stelo**: Represents goals and achievements!

- 💵 **Mono**: Represents money and investment.

- 🧠 **Cerbo**: Represents learning and thinking.
