Question

Explain how you can solve the following scenario in two different ways. I owe my friend $16 and my mom owes me $25. how much money will I have after all is settled?

Answer 1

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  I owe my friend $16 and my mom owes me $25

step 1-->take back money from mom

Mom gives back you $25

Now you have $25

Step 2: return the money you owe to friend

you owe $16

You have $25 and return $16

Thus , money you will have = money you have - money you return

money you have = $25 - $16 = $9

Thus, you will have $9 , after all is settled.
