Question

Jenny wants to buy a new dress for her first school dance.

She borrows $25.63 from her sister to help pay for the dress. Then Jenny earns $16.33 helping her dad organize his home office. If she gives all the earnings to her sister, Jenny will still owe her sister how much $

Answer 1

Let’s say Jenny has $0.00. She borrows $25.63 from her sister which makes her balance -$25.63. Then Jenny earns 16.33. The equation is -25.63 + 16.33 which is -9.30.
Jenny still owes her sister $9.30.
