Question

Malik owes his mom $10, then pays back $5

Answer 1

If Malik owes his mother $10 and pay her back $5 then he still owes her $5 an easier way to find this out is by simply subtracting $10.00-$5.00 :)

Answer 2

If Malik owes is mom $10 and pays her back $5 then he should owe hes mom $5 more! Another way to solve this is to subtract how much you have to owe hes mother to what you have already paid her.

So $10 - $5 = $5
