No. Something is still wrong with that.


Maybe this is better:
Are these THREE people? Josie, Ama, and C???? Cam? 
Josie               2a
Ama                 a
Cam                 2a+5
TOTAL               55

.

It is not the tutors' job to hypothesize what the visitor wants/wishes to say in his (or her) post.

You either write clearly, accurately and properly, or your post goes to a garbage bin.


                                Very fair and simple rule.
