Prom Limo

The limo for prom is going to cost us one thousand dollars. That’s with the tip included.
Each person is being asked to pay 40. I have already paid and Matt paid half. There are 30 people going in this limo. The limo will drive us to prom. Pick us up, and drive us to a hotel downtown.

Hooooooooooooooooooold on. A thousand dollars. 30 people. Each paying $40. Wait.

A thousand divided by 30 people is only $33.33 dollars. Let’s round that up to 34.
$34 dollars x 30 people = 1020 … WOW already a $20 profit.
But wait, we are being asked to pay 40. Hm…. 40 – 34 = 6
$6 “extra” dollars x 30 people = $180 profit.
So let’s add the profits… $20 + $180 = $200.

They are making a 200 dollar profit off us? Hm. This money better go to paying the hotel as well! Too bad that whenever any of us try to ask what is going on with our money, the people handling it brush off out comments. Hmm..

UPDATE: The girl who was supposed to book the hotel just quit. Which means we have no hotel.
