Three roommates share household supplies and split the costs. Each buys items and adds the items to the ledger. At the end of the month they reimburse each other for expenses on the ledger.

Satan spent 36

Eve spent 9

Adam spent 27

Who owes who what?

Note: They share costs at a rate of about 30% or 1/3 (divide by 3)

That's quite a simple li'l problem; wonder why it was written up so confusingly!

36 + 9 + 27 = 72
72 / 3 = 24

Satan: 36 - 24 = 12 reimbursement
Adam: 27 - 24 = 3 reimbursement
Eve: 9 + 12 + 3 = 24 (she reimburses both guys!)
