Then again 325,000,000 million x 1,000,000 is what Mini Mike spent and still has lots left over.

14,000 lbs / 225 h.p. is 62.2 h.p. ratio. It looks like they divide 225 h.p. by 7 which is the 32 figure, but the 7 is 7 tons not lbs. They claimed 32 h.p. for every pound which would be 32 x 14,000 = 448,000 lbs which is 224 tons. 

Then again 325,000,000 million x 1,000,000 is what Mini Mike spent and still has lots left over.  

Maybe whoever did the calculation that was published used the "new math"?

Does new math work on old calculators?

I will refer you to page 21 of the latest "20/20" issue. In the second column, did any of you think there was something odd about the numbers and try to do the math for yourself?
