Rational answer: Bob breaks even and does not owe money or have any money in his pocket.

Rational answer: Bob has some money in his pocket in the end: -30 + 25 = $5
Rational answer: Bob has some money in his pocket in the end: -30 + 25 = $5

Irrational answer: Bob has some money in his pocket in the end: -30 - 25 = $55
Irrational answer: Bob has some money in his pocket in the end: -30 - 25 = $55

Irrational answer: Bob still owes money in the end: -30 - 25 = -$55
Irrational answer: Bob still owes money in the end: -30 - 25 = -$55

Rational answer: Bob still owes money in the end: -30 + 25 = -$5

Answer 1

To analyze Bob's financial situation:

- Bob earned $25 from yard work.
- Bob owes his dad $30 for his iPad case.

To find out what is true about Bob's money at the end, we can calculate:

Starting with the amount Bob has after earning money:
**$25 (earned) - $30 (owed) = -$5.**

This means Bob still owes $5 after earning the money.

Given the options provided, the correct expression and answer that matches the scenario is:
**Rational answer: Bob still owes money in the end: -30 + 25 = -$5.**

This accurately reflects that Bob's overall financial situation results in him still owing $5 after earning the money.
