A little math problem...
I thought this was to right board to ask. A few years ago (I can't believe I am still thinking about this), I landed at JFK, it was very late and there were no shuttles left to go to EWR, just private limousines that charged $150 for the trip.
On the sidewalk outside the terminal, I overhear a couple talking to a limo driver, saying that they they'd like to go to EWR too. I walk up to them and propose that we share the ride.
The trip is uneventful, they seem pretty well to do and glamorous, in the fashun industry (I was still a poor student). As we pull up to the curb at EWR, I give them my $50. They start screaming at me that I owe them $75, which I end up handing out as I point out to them that $150/3= $50, there were three people in that limo, not two parties.
To this day, I am mad. Not only because I was a poor student and they were pretentious jerks who obviously had money yet argued over $25, but also because I felt I had been taken for ride.
Was my share $150/3 or $150/2?
