Detectives, I need your help solving a tricky case. This morning at 10 a.m., one of the Troublesome Triplets stole $100 from a teller at the Cashflow Bank. The infamous triplets, Doris, Dottie, and Demi, look so much alike, the teller couldn't identify which one took the money.
I wanted to be sure I didn't accuse the wrong triplet of stealing, so I alerted shopkeepers across town to let me know when one of the sisters bought anything. Right away, the phone was ringing off the hook.
"Math Maven, this is Flo from Fad Fashion. One of those Troublesome Triplets was just here. She bought a $60 red dress at half price during our sale."
The next call was from Nelly, the owner of the Nut House. Nelly reported that one of the Troublesome Triplets had bought 5 pounds of peanuts at 49 cents per pound.
Then Earl, down at the bus station, called. One of the Troublesome Triplets had just paid 85 cents an hour to store her shopping bags for two hours.
The next call was from Brad at the bowling alley: "Math Maven, two of the triplets just left the bowling alley. They each paid $7. They've been bowling since nine o'clock this morning."
Before long, Trixie called from the diner: "Math Maven, you should come quickly! The Troublesome Triplets are all here. They just sat down for lunch."
I arrived at the diner as the three sisters were finishing dessert.
