my friend doesn't get it.. or i dont get him?

$500 owed. He was going to keep 150$ of the 500$ and give me 3.5 grams of CBD

$300 and 1.4grams of CBD was paid.

What am I still owed ?

CBD is that expensive?

Let \(\displaystyle p=\text{gram price of CBD}\)

\(\displaystyle 500 = 150 + 3.5 p\)

\(\displaystyle 350 = 3.5 p\\
p = 100\\~\\
\text{you were paid}\\
300+1.4p = \\
300 + 140 = \\
\$440 = \$500 - \$60\)

You are owed $60.

I think that something is wrong here! (?). I do not think that you can figure out the price of 1 gram of CBD
Your friend owes you $500 but decided to s/he will give you instead $350 and 3.5 grams of CBD
So far your friend has given you $300 and 1.4 grms of CBD

So your friend owes you $350 - $300 or $50 cash and 3.5g -1.4g = 2.1 grams of CBD

If you friend is going to give you cash instead of 2.1 grams of CBD then you get an addition $90 to the penny!

Please no CBD. Please.
