Question

A worker owes his friend $37, and is $96 in debt. How much money does he need to pay off everything so that he doesn't owe anyone anything?

Answer 1

To do this, just add the number of dollars that the worker owes to the friend and the number of dollars of the debt. So, you have

`\text{ \$}37+\text{\$}96=\text{ \$}133`

Therefore, the amount of money the worker needs to pay for everything and owe nothing to anyone is $ 133.
