Sarah borrowed $500 from her mother. She worked for her sister

Allison, who paid her $225 at the end of the week. Her sister Cosima
repaid the $150 that Sarah loaned her. Her sister Helena gave her half
of the $200 they found on the ground while walking together. Sarah
and her brother Felix hosted a party and made $800, $125 of that
amount going to Sarah. Does Sarah have enough money to repay her
mother's loan? Explain your answer in complete sentences.

Answer:

Yes. She'll have 100 dollars left for her.

Explanation:

Sarah borrowed 500. So, first we add 225+150+100+125. That will equal to 600. The 100 is half of 200.
