peer agreement (net): -1They have an amount that is three million dollars+ Explanation: Sorry I misread the question the first time, a better part of something means they aren't near the border to two million for example, so they might have 3 and a half million, but can't have 3 million and 100 thousand |

peer agreement (net): +3| the better part of ... almost (all/most of)/up to $3 million Explanation: it means it's almost $3 million i.e. it isn't that much less than $3 million so not 2 or 2.5 million so not more than €3million https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/the-bet... https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/the-b... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 15 hrs (2019-08-22 15:12:56 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped. Just to be clear "better part of" probably means somewhere between 2.75 and 3 million if you need an idea of figures. (Less than 3 but more than 2.75) |
