Did everyone miss this? Emphasis mine.

That's a fair bit different than $120 and is approaching a range that looks more like collective and bad estimation than incompetence and/or thievery.

THANK YOU to my husband for figuring this out.

Not at all. It's just that now I don't know whether to send Kevy $10 or $6.32.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do about the discrepancy myself. Though I'm leaning towards sending $10 for the two of us still. He shouldn't have been stuck with covering the difference either way, so I do think it's still fair to attempt to recover as much of what he laid out as we can for him.

I mostly did the math to point out that the shortfall wasn't as dramatic as it appeared based on the original math, not because I feel like Kevy made some horrible decision that should cost him $40.

And given how many other times this has happened and he's covered I think it's the least we can do.
