I am not good at word problems. My son who thinks he is so smart, really is. So every now and then he will come in and pose a question for me to figure out the answer. I really would prefer you not post this. I would just like to know the answer please so I can go back to him. I have part of it figured out just not sure about the very last part?<BR>\n" );
