A while back, either James borrowed $12 from his friend Rita or she borrowed $12 from him, but he can’t quite remember which. Either way, he is planning to pay her back or ask that she pay him back this afternoon. If he has $42.80 in his wallet, which equation represents the amount of money he may have after he sees Rita?

Answer:

42.8 + or - 12

Explanation:

He's either gaining or losing $12 so you can write 42.8 plus or minus 12 as the equation
