Final answer:

According to the numbers given, Owen paid $100 for an $11.02 charge, which would typically mean Owen is to receive change. The question's mention of a $88.98 charge due seems incorrect, as he should not owe more money after paying a larger amount than he owed. The answer, based on the information provided, is A) $0.00 since he does not owe anything further.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the remaining charge owed by a customer, Owen, after making a payment. Initially, Owen owed $11.02, and he paid $100.00 in cash. The given charge due after the payment is $88.98.

To determine the remaining charge owed, we subtract the charge due from the amount Owen initially owed:

  • Initial Debt: $11.02
  • Payment made: $100.00
  • Charge Due (after payment): $88.98
  • Remaining Charge Owed: Initial Debt - Charge Due = $11.02 - $88.98

Since the charge due is more than the initial debt, this situation usually indicates that Owen should receive change. However, based on the question, it seems there may be a misunderstanding, as the correct arithmetic shows that Owen should receive back change instead of owing more. Therefore, the correct answer, according to the provided numbers, would be:

A) $0.00. Owen does not owe any more money; in fact, he should receive change.
