Math

I feel like seeing how many people can do math.

Rent - $725
Cable - $40
Internet - $40
Total - $805

Seems easy enough. Split with a roommate, the total becomes $402.50. Whoo!! I know that may have been tough for some, but stick with me, it gets trickier. Ok, so let's say that your roommate doesn't want/need cable any more, but you still do. So you take on the whole cable bill. What is yours and your rommates bill now?

Now I calculated it to be:

$402.50 + $20 = $422.50.

The $20 comes from his 1/2 of the cable bill.

So now what would his bill be? $402.50 - $20 = $382.50.

So when your rommate bitches at you for paying the "full" amount to the leasing office, including cable, even though he is not using it and threatens to tell the leasing office to cut off the cable, who is the dumbass? I do not believe it is me, but I might be wrong. It is not my fault that he could not subtract $20 from what he used to pay for rent to take care of the cable that he am not using.
