@imer

Answer 2

Fran owes Toby more than Toby owes frank, therefore, will we add or subtract?

Answer 3

add

Answer 4

Lets take an easy example, you need to pay me $5, means you owe me $5 and I need to give you $5 (means I owe you $5). Who pays who?

Answer 5

me

Answer 6

Well I give you $5, so I lose $5 but then you give me $5 so I gain $5 back. Same case for you, you give me $5 so you lose $5 but then I give you $5 so you gain $5 back, which is same as not paying each other.

Answer 7

$5 so you lose $5 but then I give you $% so you gain $5 back, which is same as not paying each other

Answer 8

so what we did, subtracted or added?

Answer 9

added

Answer 10

Why did we add? if we add we get $10 but if we subtract we get $0 means no one pays because we both owe each other the same amount.

Answer 11

We subtract, and we get $11 and in this case Fran owes more, therefore, its same as saying "Fran owes Toby exactly $11." which is "A".

Answer 12
