If Jennifer owes $192, then it's basically - 192. If she makes a $25 purchase she's spending morr and going deeper into the negative side, which would be - 217. If she pays $40, however, she is adding those to relieve her debt, which would be - $217+$40, which gives you - $177.

Basically, her current balance is - $177 which means she still owes the credit card company $177
