Answer:

Malcolm owes the greatest amount.

Explanation:

The question is asking for the amount owed by each person. That just means you take the absolute value of their bank balance if their bank balance is negative. Absolute value is just how far away the number is from zero (basically when a number is negative, you're just making it positive).

Sophia owes $150, Malcolm owes $325, and Oren owes $275.

325 > 275 > 150

Thus Malcolm owes the most, since his amount owed is the highest.
