Answer :

Answer:

C: -$6.50 + (-$3.75) = -$10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Anthony owes his friend $6.50, so he has -$6.50

Anthony owes his sister $3.75, so he has -$3.75

Add up the debt to figure out how much debt he has!

-$6.50 + (-$3.75) = -$10.75

however, because this is asking about total debt, it is NOT C.

  • the total debt (-) is $10.75, which is represented in answer D. this means he owes $10.75
  • if you choose C, the total debt (-) for -$10.75 would actually be positive.
  • think about it like if you have a negative negative, you get a positive, so C would actually be credit.
