William has $300 dollars.
He gives $138 away to Ms.Wall so he gets good grades.(the going rate for good grades??)
300 - 138 = 162
His friend gives him $24 dollars to cover up the damage.(Sounds ominous)
162 + 24 = 186
Later, he doubles his money (Legally I hope)
2(186) = 324
and then divides it up evenly between 3 friends.(were they blackmailing him?)
Now he has no money.
324/3 = 108 each
2 of the friends kept the money, while 1 of them gave him the money back.
(One was a TRUE friend)
He has 108
The remaining money is put in his bank, and is quadrupled, (The bank of Nigeria?)
4(108) = 432 in the bank
How much money is he left with? Not sure, probably 0
