So I'm gonna rent an apartment with some friends this summer. I'm trying to get the figures right. Somehow my logic is failing.
see, the apartment costs 490 euro/week. that makes 70 euro/day.
We're five people who's gonna live there. three of us are staying 12 nights, two stays 11 nights.
So - 70/5 equals 14. 14€ /day for everyone right?
14*11 = 154.
14*12 = 168.
168*3 = 504.
154*2 = 308.
504+308 = 812. Now, see 12 days should equal 840€. So now I just remebered that the last day should be divided by three. 70/3 = 23,33333...
It was such a long time since I studied math. *sigh*.
Everyone should just pay 154 each - then the three of us pay an extra 23,333...
154+23,3 = 177,3.
177,3*3 = 519,9
154*2 = 308
519,9+308 = 827,9.... I'm afraid I might be confusing people with my disoriented thoughts... I'm thinking very weird somewhere along these lines. Well, it should equal up to 840.
Can somebody please help me?

Why don't you simply take 11 nights a 70 bucks (770) divided by 5 people (154 for each) and one night a 70 bucks (70) divided by 2 (35 for each). 770+70 is the 840.
