Now they have each paid 9000 miles ok? Well, 9000 * 3 = 27000 miles plus the 2000 that the naughty agent kept= 29,000 miles...so where did the remaining 1000 miles go to?</font>
Its a balance sheet problem, isn't it... credits vs debits.
The 9,000 * 3 is a DEBIT i.e. negative
The 2,000 is a CREDIT i.e. positive
so the calculation is bogus and the correct one would be:
-(9,000 * 3) + 2,000 = -25,000
which balances with the cost of the flight.
nice
