Li'l math problem - 02/19/18 01:07 AM
Jim walked up to the bank teller to get
a cheque cashed; cheque was under $100.
The teller somehow gave him dollars for
the cents, and cents for the dollars;
example: if cheque was for $37.52, then
Jim got $52.37
When Jim picked up his money, a dime slipped
out and rolled down the floor....
"ah well, the heck with it" said Jim...
Jim counted what was left and realised that
he actually had 3 times the cheque amount.
What was, praytell, the amount of the cheque?
