The deficiency is $1080.00
At 10% factor multiply by 1.11111
rounds to $1200 added to both cars
$21,800+$1200=$23000*.1=$2300
$600+$500+$1200=$2300

$23,000-$2300=$20,700*1.22=$25,524/48=$526
$526 rounded to nearest dollar

When are they going to open the 'experience' up to the paying public..?
I'd pay to have a play - of course, I'd happily head to Mars on a one way ticket as well, but that's just me...

Never underestimate the power of the human mind to rationalize even the most stupid and useless activities.
