Grade 7 Positive and Negative Numbers CCSS: 7.NS.A.3

Jaya loaned $10 each to 3 people under the condition that they would each pay her back $11. So far, only 2 people have paid her back. The following equation describes this situation:

(-10 x 3) + (11 x 2) = −8

What does -8 tell us?
  1. Jaya is still owed a total of $8 by the person who hasn't paid her back.
  2. Jaya has $8 less than she did before she lent out the money.
  3. Jaya has $8 more than the amount of money she lent out.
  4. Jaya now has $8.
