he still owes you 400 plus the 330 plus the 20.. - 300.. 450 right?

[queenieldb]

That's not what I came up with, but that's one of the answers that other ppl have come up with. I don't know who's right?

[dustylove22]

but it is so easy.

he owes you 400 plus 330 plus 20 and he just paid you 300..

why is that so hard??

450 is the answer..

[queenieldb]

because once he pays for my plane ticket, that amount has to be subtracted from the $400.00 because that was the deal - so if he is paying for me $165.00 plane ticket, it means that that amount is deducted off of the $400 that he originally owed me...does that make sense? I came up with $285.00 that he still owes me.

[dustylove22]

you said he didn't pay for the plane ticket and you paid the total 330.. no money should be deducted if he didn't pay anything..

actually he owe you 400 plus 165 (for him) plus 20 minus the 300. so yeah 285.. i had in it what you orginally said.. therefor my sleeping puppy is retarded.. and me too :)

[queenieldb]

yeah, that's what i thought....? But a lot of ppl are saying it's $450

[dustylove22]

because it sounded like Erik was paying for you and his plane tickets but that was only the case to reduce his debt to you but you had to pay for it all anyways.. so why wuold he buy you a ticket when he is in debt to you and he owes you money anyways.. ya know..
