Mia Wong bought a new Bose radio for $280. Bill, a friend of Mia's, can afford to pay only 3/4 as much as Mia. What is the most Bill could pay for the radio?

Answer :

AL2006

           (3/4) x ($280)  =  $210

Bill can't afford a new Bose radio.

Maybe some other solution to Bill's dilemma
can be found:

-- Bill could buy a more cost-effective radio.

-- Mia could buy the Bose radio and give it to Bill.

-- Mia could buy the Bose radio and sell it to Bill for $210.

-- Mia could buy the Bose radio for $280, then Bill could buy Mia
   for $210, and they could listen to the Bose radio together.
