(1 point)
• Rational/Integer answer: Bob has some $ in his pocket in the end: -7 + 25 = 18
• Irrational/Integer answer: Bob still owes $ in the end; 7 - 25 = - 18
O Irrational answer: Bob still owes $ in the end: -7 - 25 = - 32
Whole number answer: Bob breaks even and does not owe $ or have any $ in
• his pocket.
• Rational answer: Bob has some $ in his pocket in the end: 7 - 25 = -18

Answer 1

To analyze Bob's situation:

1. Bob owed Jim $7. This is a negative amount for Bob, represented as -7.
2. Bob earned $25. This is a positive amount, represented as +25.
3. To find out how much money Bob has after paying off his debt, we calculate:

\(-7 + 25 = 18\).

This means Bob has $18 left after settling his debt.

Based on the options provided:

• Rational/Integer answer: This option states that Bob has some $ in his pocket in the end: -7 + 25 = 18. This option correctly represents the scenario as Bob ends up with $18.

The other options either miscalculate or incorrectly describe Bob's financial situation.

So, the correct choice is: • Rational/Integer answer: Bob has some $ in his pocket in the end: -7 + 25 = 18.
