Sound Familiar?

You teach 3 classes today: kids' after-school class ($25/kid, 8 enrolled), adult watercolor workshop ($40/person, 6 enrolled), and a private lesson ($60/hour). Supply costs for the kids' class are $30. The adult workshop uses $45 in watercolor paper and paints. One parent wants a refund because their kid missed 2 of 6 sessions. Your class registration is a Google Form and payments are collected via Venmo.
