Need outsiders perspective

So I work for a company that has multiple locations and we were trying to figure out cost of an item. Location 1, where I work at, had to have 7 different cost items calculated. Location 2, where Co-Manager (Co-M) works at, only has to do 1. One of my 7 includes additionally their 1 as well. Conversation (with about 9 people) through text goes as follows: Co-M: $14.65 are the numbers for my Location based off of the overall view you gave me. So it'll be $15 rounded up. CEO: OK, just to confirm that should match OP version as well. Is that correct? OP: For this item, I got $14.34 so it'll be $15 rounded as well. CEO: OK, it's a little academic, since you both round up to 15, but let's figure out the discrepancy please. Co-M: Sends an image with calculations coming to 630/43=14.65 OP: That's…

Co-M: $14.65 are the numbers for my Location based off of the overall view you gave me. So it'll be $15 rounded up.

CEO: OK, just to confirm that should match OP version as well. Is that correct?

OP: For this item, I got $14.34 so it'll be $15 rounded as well.

CEO: OK, it's a little academic, since you both round up to 15, but let's figure out the discrepancy please.

Co-M: Sends an image with calculations coming to 630/43=14.65

OP: That's the difference, there is 44, not 43.

Co-M: OK, $0.30. My bad. Ok OP please finish off it then.

OP: I have my own to finish.

Co-M: You also have a lot to say about mine too. Feel free to finish it and let me know when it's completed.

At this point I stop responding and call my supervisor to inform them they need to talk to Co-M and figure out what the issue is.

The following day neither supervisor or CEO say a word to me, even after a follow up text to my supervisor asking if there's been anything updated on the situation.

The day after this, the CEO sits me down and explains how I was snarky, and also in the wrong, should have moved the conversation out of the group, and I could have avoided the conversation all together, or said “Yes I can help.” Tbh I could have potentially finished it, but that's not the point as I had the others to do as well and needed to focus on my Locations. Thoughts?

(Sorry for the long story, but need context)
