Final answer:

Harry has enough money to pay Maria, lend Kelly money for a ticket, and still buy his own movie ticket. After paying Maria and lending Kelly the money, Harry will have $1 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is whether Harry has enough money to pay back Maria $9, lend Kelly $10 for her movie ticket, and still have enough to buy his own movie ticket. Let's calculate:

  • Harry has $30 initially.
  • He pays Maria $9, which leaves him with $30 - $9 = $21.
  • Harry lends Kelly $10 for her ticket, reducing his amount to $21 - $10 = $11.
  • A movie ticket costs $10, so Harry can buy his own ticket with the remaining $11 amount.

After these transactions, Harry will be left with $11 - $10 = $1. So, Yes, Harry does have enough money for this situation.
