Tennis ball problem

Tennis balls come in cases of 3 balls each. L, M and C play tennis for a month. During that time L bought 6 cans and M bought 4 cans. C bought no cans. She figures(C) she owes 15 dollars. Of the 15 dollars, how much should go to L?
(A tennis ball is worth $1.5)

Re: Tennis ball problem

Very good! Please post your solution.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
