They agreed to split the bill, which came to $40. They found out after the meal that the restaurant didn’t accept credit cards. Looking through her wallet, Sally discovered that she only had $11. Leah barely had enough in her wallet, but they made the $40. Who owes whom how much? \n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's why.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sally loaned leah 10 dollars, so leah owes sally 10 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "leah bought a book for sally that costs 24 dollars, so sally owes leah 24 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "the net so far is that sally owes leah 14 dollars (24 - 10 = 14).
\n" ); document.write( "when they split the bill for dinner, they were both supposed to pay 20, but sally only paid 11.
\n" ); document.write( "therefore she owes leah an additional 9 dollars for a total of 23.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
