    Rent
    Hi, I need help with my rent situation. I live with 2 other roomates. The apartment has 2 bed rooms and large living room. My one roommate and I have taken the two bed rooms for 40 extra dollars each. The third took the living room. Our rent is 775.00, how would we split the rent up?

    My opinion and that is all it is.

    Bed room 1 and bed room 2 split 3/4 of the rent
    Person in living room would pay about 1/4 of the rent

    What if I was to do 775 - 80 (the extra 40 each) for the rooms. Take the 695 and divide that by three getting 231. Then add 40 back to 231 to make it 271 for each of the rooms and the person without the room gets 233 for rent. Being roughly a 40 dollar difference in rent paid.
