total cost is 25%2850%29=highlight%281250%29
total amount received is 22%2863%29=highlight%281386%29
returns cost him $55 but gets refunded $50 for each calculator so in essence it only cost him $10 to return the two calculators. so 10%2B1250=highlight%281260%29
now subtract total cost from amount received
1386-1260=highlight_green%28126%29
