Quick math question

Quick math question

OK I just put a 20% deposit on my florist. Her contract states that half is due 60 days prior. With this in mind, would this mean that

1. 50% of the total bill is due prior or
2. 50% of the remaining balance is due prior?

I'm not sure which it is, but I would assume 50% of the total bill. Am I wrong? I will be at that 60 day mark in 11 days, so I am trying to budget myself.

I think that 50% of the remaning balance, but I am not positive.

Since you paid 20% already, i'd you'd have to pay 30% more.

Call the florist to double check.

Re: Quick math question

i, too, would believe half of the remaining balance is due 60 days before your wedding date.

Re: Quick math question

I would think you must have 50% of the total bill paid 60 days prior. Call and confirm though

That would be my understanding too, but call and double check.

I would think 50 % of the remaing balance, call and find out though and then let us know, i am sure many of us are curious as to what the meaning was.

Same here, ALWAYS double check when your questioning something.

Re: Quick math question

Since I met with your florist, I can say that it is 50% of the total bill due.

Re: Quick math question

So basically that means I gotta pay another 30%...whew!! Okay that's not a bad hit considering we have to pay off the HM 3 days after!!

Re: Quick math question

Bumping because I got the answer from my florist.

She said the 50% is 50% of the REMAINING BALANCE.

Which makes me want to hurl, because that means it's more money than I thought now.
