As in Chapter 10, Barry has speaking engagements in two cities, Baltimore and San Francisco (SF). The airfare for each leg is as listed on the image below, and the cost of a round trip is exactly double the one-way fare.
The total airfare for the triangle route is $99 + $742
+ $1,243 = $2,084. SF and Baltimore must agree on how to split the cost ($2,084) in order to do the triangle route. How much should Baltimore pay?
Note: You may have noticed that it is less expensive to fly to SF via Baltimore than to fly direct. However, due to flight schedules, it doesn’t work to fly to SF via Baltimore unless there is a reason to spend a day there. Thus the triangle route is only an option if the two parties reach an agreement. How much of the $2,084 should Baltimore pay?
