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.
