which of the following expression and answer would match with the scenario?
Bob and Jim earned $25 each doing yard work. Bob realized that he owed his dad $30 for his ipad case. what is true about bob's money?
a. Irrational answer: bob still owes money in the end: -30 - 25 = -$55
b. Irrational answer: bob has some money in his pocket in the end: -30 - 25 = $55
c. rational answer: bob has some money in his pocket in the end: -30 + 25 = $5
d. rational answer: bob still owes money in the end: -30 + 25 = -$5
e. rational answer: bob breaks even and does not owe money or have money in his pocket
The correct answer for the scenario would be:
e. rational answer: bob breaks even and does not owe money or have money in his pocket.
This is because Bob earned $25 from doing yard work, but he owed his dad $30 for his iPad case. Therefore, when we calculate the money that Bob has in the end, it is $25 - $30, which equals -$5. This means that Bob has a debt of $5, so he still owes money and does not have any money in his pocket.
