Question

Tommy owes his parents $200. He pays them a $50 payment in July. The next month he has to borrow another $100. How much does he owe his parents altogether?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is that Tommy owes his parents $250 overall.

Explanation:
He owes $200, but pays $50 of it off. He now only owes $150.

Next month, he ends up having to borrow $100 more dollars. Add the $100 he now needs to the $150 he still owed, and you get $250.

Answer 2

$300

Explanation:

subtract $200 by $50= $150, then $150 to $100.
