So, I have the 25 charges on the credit card statement, and I have the amount paid from the business account.
She has the original statement somewhere, but moved a couple of months ago and it will take time to track down. I'm still surprised there wasn't a Java calculator posted for this.

Hmm - I've thought about it a little more, and have a question which may help clear up your dilema:
Do you know if one of her expenses was for a train ride? If so, was she travelling from Albuquerque, New Mexico to San Jose, California, at an average speed of 103 km/hr, while another tran was travelling from San Jose to Alburquerque at an average speed of 96km/hr? If she left Albuquerque at 3:06pm, and the train leaving from San Jose departed the trian depot at 1:23pm on the same day, at what time will the two trains meet? Bonus question: at what distance from San Jose will the trains meet?
Now, if one of her expenses was for an airline, then I have another question: was the plane on a conveyor belt when it took off?
One more question: did any of the transactions have anything to do with a Black Audi Wagon by any chance?
Yes, this will be on the final exam...
-Z-man.
