Which statement is true? A.<span> Julia’s money status is $8 because she started at –$12 and borrowed $20. B.</span> Julia’s money status is –$7 because she started at –$12, got $20, but only paid $5 of her debt.<span> C.</span> Julia’s money status is –$27 because she started at –$12, borrowed $20, but paid off $5.<span> D.</span> Julia’s money status is –$32 because she began at –$12 and borrowed $20.
we know that </span>Julia owes her dad $12 already and again she borrowed $20 from her sister So, total debt = $12+$20=$ 32. And, she paid $5 only to her father. So, Her money status is -32+5 = -$27
the answer is the option C. Julia’s money status is –$27 because she started at –$12, borrowed $20, but paid off $5.
