Would appreciate some help here....

Hi

Recently I was discussing something with one of my friends and we got into an argument over x cpl with spaces and x cpl without spaces. Then I decided to ask and see if anyone could enlighten me about this. Suppose if A got paid 5 cpl without spaces and B got paid 3 cpl with space. What exactly are A and B being paid? Who benefits better? I feel B gets the better benefit since his calculations are with space included.

Would appreciate if anyone could clarify this. I have bet a special cup of tea (with spices) that 3 cpl would benefit better. Hope I do not lose.

Thanks in advance.
