None of the response options are correct because they do not accurately reflect how much money Reem has after paying her friend back. To find the correct answer, we need to subtract the amount Reem owes her friend from the amount she earns.
$43.78 - $15.25 = $28.53
Therefore, Reem has $28.53 left after paying her friend back.
To calculate how much money Reem has left after paying her friend back, we need to subtract the amount she owes from the amount she earns.
