Question

I owe my friend Miguel $4.00. I also owe my friend Gloria $7.50. Which equation correctly shows this relationship?

A. -4 - 7.50 = 11.50

B. 7.50 - 4 = 3.50

C. 4 + (-7.50) = -3.50

D. -4 + (-7.50) = -11.50

Answer 1

The answer is D. Since you owe money to Miguel, and Gloria, you are in dept to them, and you owe them a total of $11.50 because you owe Miguel 4 dollars and you owe Gloria $7.50 that adds up to $11.50 in dept
