To analyze Bob's situation, we can break it down as follows:

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

To find out how much money Bob has after earning the $25 and considering his debt, we can do the following calculation:

  • Bob's current amount of money: $25 (money earned)
  • Amount he owes: -$30

So, the equation becomes: \[ 25 - 30 = -5 \]

This means Bob has -$5, which indicates he still owes money.

Based on the options given, the correct statements are:

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

This accurately represents Bob's financial situation after earning the money and considering his debt.
