Sorry, I'm answering my own question to provide more information. (Why doesn't Wiki answers allow more than single-sentence questions? It's ridiculous.) This was in a puzzle book. A person goes to the bank with a check. The teller transposes the dollars and cents, and gives way too much money. The person loses 0.02 through a hole in pocket on the way home, and now has twice the original face value. I already have the answer: $32.65 and $65.32. What I need is an equation that will solve this without plugging random numbers in until you accidentally hit on the correct answer. If X = Original check and Y = transposed, already know that X = (Y - 0.02)/2, but beyond that???
