Problem/Situation:
Three different individuals, A, B, C recently had their air conditioning serviced and/ or replaced.
A paid X. B paid Y. And C got an estimate for Z.
Z>Y>X
What conclusions can we draw?
My sister's suggestion: C got (or was going to be) cheated.
My suggestion: Did A, B, and C have exactly the same thing done? Did each purchase exactly the same unit?
My sister's reply: "I am not talking to you. You are impractical."
QED
The reader should feel free to supply missing steps and formalization.
After-thought:
And what if Z is twice as much as X?
Reply:
You still need to know whether C purchased/was planning to purchase the same thing as A.
