triciaal · Answer

but I don't know where you are. I don't know what question you have to work the problem. I gave you all you need.

triciaal · Answer

when you purchase or buy the bill goes up you owe more.

anonymous · Answer

i gave u the question

triciaal · Answer

when you make a payment you owe that much less. you take it off the total amount you owe.

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

so basically, she uses her card twice to pay ? im not quite understanding.. there has to be more to the question.

triciaal · Answer

example if your sister lend you $30 and you gave her $5 back then now you owe her less

anonymous · Answer

so wat could be an equation to solve it

triciaal · Answer

do you understand the example with your sister ? you agree you only owe 25 now?
