Answer 1

To find out how much money Reem has left after paying her friend back, you can use the following calculation:

1. Amount Reem earns: $43.78
2. Amount she owes: $15.25

Now, subtract the amount she owes from her earnings:

\[ 43.78 - 15.25 = 28.53 \]

So, after paying her friend back, Reem has $28.53 left.

The correct response is: $28.53
