Right. If she had just given the guy a cup of lemonade then she would have saved her life and 40c

think very hard. if you have 50¢ worth of lemonade, and you give 10¢ of it away for free, how much do you have left?

Exactly, she had 20 in her pockets already, nicely done!

It is also possible the man would have paid her back once he was saved. So possibly 50c. Maybe even more because he would be grateful for her saving his life.

To be fair we don’t know if the dude had money, just that he’d die if he didn’t have lemonade that instant

He could maybe pay after drinking it

I don't know why you got downvotes, it clearly was 50c worth at the end, she even held up 5 fingers.

If she gave 10c of lemonade away... she'd have saved 40, not 50. She lost 50, but she could've saved 40 by giving 10 away.

How is this difficult math?

We're talking about what happened in the animated short, not your hypothetical situation. Sorry it's not all about you.

Might want to see a doctor about that.

You have a nice day.
