julia owes her dad $12. she wants a new blouse that just went on sale, so she borrows $20 from her sister. she pays her father $5 and spends the rest on the blouse. which statement is true?\njulias money status is $8 because she started at -$12 and borrowed $20.\njulias money status is -$7 because she started at -$12, got $20, but only paid $5 of her debt.\njulias money status is -$27 because she started at -$12, borrowed $20, but paid off $5.\njulias money status is -$32 because she began at -$12 and borrowed $20.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine initial debt

Julia starts with a debt of $12$, so her initial money - status is $- 12$.

Step2: Calculate money after borrowing

She borrows $20$ from her sister. So the new money - status is $-12 + 20=8$.

Step3: Calculate money after paying debt

She pays her father $5$. So the final money - status is $8-5 = 3$. Let's check each option:

Option 1: Starting at $-12$ and borrowing $20$ gives $-12 + 20=8$, but she also paid $5$, so this is incorrect.
Option 2: Starting at $-12$, getting $20$ gives $-12 + 20 = 8$, then paying $5$ gives $8-5=3$. The calculation in this option is wrong.
Option 3: Starting at $-12$, borrowing $20$ gives $-12 + 20=8$, paying $5$ gives $8 - 5=3$, this option is wrong.
Option 4: Starting at $-12$ and borrowing $20$ gives $-12+20 = 8$, and paying $5$ is not considered in this option, so it is wrong.

However, if we calculate her debt status:

Initial debt to dad is $12$.
Borrows $20$ from sister.
Pays $5$ to dad. The remaining debt to dad is $12 - 5=7$, and the debt to sister is $20$. So the total debt is $7 + 20=27$, and her money - status (in terms of debt) is $-27$.
