Answer 1

Answer: She will owe $12.50 at the end of the week, and her account balance will be -12.50 dollars.

Explanation:

A school week is 5 days. If Ms. Ortiz borrows $2.50 every day, then we will have to multiply 2.50 by 5 to find how much Ms. Ortiz owes at the end of the week.

2.50 x 5 = 12.5, or $12.50.

Therefore, Ms. Ortiz owes $12.50 at the end of the week, and her account balance will be -12.50.
