Question 1146355: Sally loaned Leah $10. Leah bought a book for Sally at a conference; the book cost $24. The two went out to dinner. 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?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! assuming each had to pay for themselves, then i would say that, after all was said and one, sally owed leah 23 dollars.
here's why.
sally loaned leah 10 dollars, so leah owes sally 10 dollars.
leah bought a book for sally that costs 24 dollars, so sally owes leah 24 dollars.
the net so far is that sally owes leah 14 dollars (24 - 10 = 14).
when they split the bill for dinner, they were both supposed to pay 20, but sally only paid 11.
therefore she owes leah an additional 9 dollars for a total of 23.
