  1. A phone with a debit card set up for payment · The phone needs payment set up. A photo of a card does not replace that setup. Only the phone with its debit card set up has the setup needed to pay.
  2. A debit card · A debit card uses linked account money. Cash uses notes and coins. A credit card uses borrowed money that must be repaid.
  3. False · Debit uses account money. Credit uses borrowed money that must be repaid. Neither makes the purchase free.
  4. Someone could misuse them to try to spend money · Someone could misuse shared details to try to spend money or enter an account. Keeping the card or being promised a prize does not make sharing safe.
  5. $10 stays in the account · Take the $5 payment away from $15: 15 - 5 = 10. There is $10 left.
  6. 7 · Add the full prices: 4 + 3 = 7. This debit payment uses $7 from the linked account.
  7. Tell an adult; keep details private · Jordan should keep the details private, avoid the message's links and tell a trusted adult. Opening the link or keeping the request secret leaves out part of the safety response.
  8. The borrowed money must still be paid back · Credit uses borrowed money that must be repaid. It does not use only saved account money, and an unchanged bank balance that day does not mean nothing is owed.
