Today’s Question – Lenny had to make a courtesy call to town on Saturday. He arranged for a car to pick him up at home, take him to town and then return him home. Paul who lives exactly halfway to town asked if he could go along. Lenny picked up Paul enroute and dropped him back on the way home. Assuming the price to Lenny for the car was $150 (and the “waiting time” was free), what should Paul’s share of the cost be? (Be careful, 75% of folks get this wrong.)

Reveal Answer Corner Answer - Since Paul traveled half the distance, he should pay one third of the expense. (What??) Assume that Lenny lived 30 miles from town his round trip was 60 miles. Paul's round trip was 30 miles. So Lenny should pay twice as much as Paul since he drove twice as far. -0.8% N.A. N.A. 52.5 90.1 270K N.A. 0.8% N.A. N.A. N.A.
