What do you make of this apartment ad?
« on: June 17, 2011, 06:19:19 PM »
This part is easily understood

Clean & bright bachelor suite. Front and back entances. Well equipt and furnished. Available immediately. Easy short walk to university and #10 bus stop right out front. 4 blocks to LRT station. Nice park a half a block away and Confederation Park just a 2 block walk. Available furnished or unfurnished.



This part makes no sense, the ad also says bach #1 is $550 (550 square feet) and bach #2 is $675 (600 square feet)
Short term okay but $40 surcharge for each month under 6 months. 1 month $750, 2 months $710/month etc.

$240 over 6 months= 40$ more each month. If you stay 7 months than the surcharge is $0 for months 7, 8, 9, etc.
But if you stay one month than it should be $790 or $$915. His numbers are wrong but the second month would be $40 less than 790/915 = 750/875
2nd month would be 40 less than 750/835
3rd month would be 40 less than 710/795
4th month would be 40 less than 670/735
5th month would be 40 less than 630/695
6th month would be 40 less than 590/655
7th and all next months would be 550/615.

basically his math skills suck or mine do.lol.

using 550 as the example and working backwards...
month 6 =590
month 5=630
month 4=670
month 3=710
month 2=750
month 1=790

yep, his math sucks ;D
or mine does :-[
