1. The question you asked is about identifying where it states that Alvin paid money to the business. 2. To answer this, carefully read the problem statement or context given. 3. Look for keywords or phrases such as "Alvin paid," "Alvin invested," "Alvin contributed," or any mention of money transfer from Alvin to the business. 4. If the problem does not explicitly state this, it might be implied or assumed based on the context. 5. Without the exact problem text, it's impossible to point to the exact phrase, but typically, such information is found in the problem's initial description or setup. 6. If you provide the full problem statement, I can help identify the exact location or wording.
