What do you think ? Note by Ruturaj Sharbidre 2 months, 4 weeks ago ## Comments Sort by: Top Newest The balance need not add to the original amount. Take for example that he bought 50 items one at a time each of$1.
Then, his balance (the way it is listed in the question) will add up to $1225, an extra of$1175!!!! · 2 months, 3 weeks ago
