princess2007 Mar 15, 2011	I protest vehemently!! No just kidding. U see the 1st (or another) clue says that the surgeon gave THREE TIMES MORE THAN than Ms. Maxwell. However, in the solution, Ms. Maxwell(Julia) gave $20K and the surgeon (Michelle) gave $60K. May I remind you that 60K is THREE TIMES 20K not THREE TIMES MORE THAN 20K. I suggest you either remove the "MORE THAN" OR you simply have Donna(attorney)pay $60K and Michelle(Surgeon) pay $80K. As far as I can see, this answer works just as well and is the ONLY correct answer with the present wording.
