Final answer:

After paying back $1.50 of her $2.25 debt to her grandfather, Mariah currently owes $0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariah had owed her grandfather $2.25 and paid him back $1.50. To find out how much Mariah currently owes her grandfather, we need to subtract the amount she paid back from the original debt.

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. Original amount owed: $2.25
  2. Amount paid back: $1.50
  3. Remaining debt: $2.25 - $1.50 = $0.75

Therefore, Mariah currently owes her grandfather $0.75, which corresponds to option A.
