Question

On Wednesday, Olga’s parents said she owed them too much money to borrow any more. On Thursday, she paid her parents $15 she had earned babysitting. On Friday she borrowed $5 to go to a movie. On Saturday, she paid them the $12 she earned babysitting, Then her debt was down to $22. How much did she owe on Wednesday?

Answer 1

So she paid them 15 but then borrowed 5 more dollars, so she really only paid them 10. Then she paid them back 12. Add that to the 10 she already paid them and you get 22. But she still owed them 22. So add what she already paid (22), and add what she owes (22), and you get 44. So, in total on Wednesday, she owed her parents $44.
