    Default Quick Math Question

    Red and solve, before the spoiler.

    Suppose you have an part-time employee earning money and services for work done. Among those services, is advertising for their business. They owe $120 for said advertising, and you have any option of taking out of what they earn. What means of distribution is the most effective, over a period of five times?

    Idk, $40 up front makes sense, assuming they already followed through on the advertising.

    Mkay, whatever.

    I still think $30 would be nearly as much, give me about 1/2 (instead of a lousy 1/3) and pay off the debt in 4 shows instead of 5 (I mean that's just silly). But then, I typically don't understand how ad costs work.

    I guess it just kinda pisses me off that I worked several hours trying to prep the area for the audience, and then I kinda get a huge chunk taken out of my earnings. $35 seems more like the job was worth, since in some spots I had to rush (a dad and his kids came in and were running around), but that $10 diff kinda makes me feel crummy.
