Wyatt, Zöe, Vern, Yvette, Xavier

Answer 1

To order the friends by their bank account balances from least to greatest, we need to compare their balances:

• Zöe: $10.98
• Yvette: –$11.32
• Xavier: –$11.71
• Wyatt: $11.75
• Vern: $10.89

Now we can list them in order from the least (most negative) balance to the greatest:

1. Yvette: –$11.32
2. Xavier: –$11.71
3. Vern: $10.89
4. Zöe: $10.98
5. Wyatt: $11.75

So, the correct order is:

Yvette, Xavier, Vern, Zöe, Wyatt.

The correct answer is: Yvette, Xavier, Vern, Zöe, Wyatt.
