Explanation:
Note that:
#$1105 - $10 - $20 - $15 = $1060#
Note that:
#11+18+24 = 53#
So:
#($1060)/(11+18+24) = ($1060)/53 = $20#
So after the
#{ ("Alice: " $20 * 11 = $220), ("Bond: " $20 * 18 = $360), ("Charlie: " $20 * 24 = $480) :}#
Adding the
#{ ("Alice: " $220 + $10 = $230), ("Bond: " $360+$20 = $380), ("Charlie: " $480 + $15 = $495) :}#
