Lizzy: Diane is playing poker with her friends and is not having very good luck. She starts with $100 and wins 5 hands for a total of $65 dollars to add to her $100. Emboldened, she begins betting bigger and riskier and ends up losing all her money and owing her friends $50. How much money did Diane lose in all?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Diane started with $100 and won $65, for a total mid - game of $165. However, she ended up owing her friends $50, so she lost $165 + $50 = $215 she lost in all. Final answer: 215.
