Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

You borrowed a total of 1500 and paid back 200, therefore you still owe 1300. According to the story, of the 1500 borrowed, 1000 was lost, 300 was spent, and 200 was repaid, leaving a balance owing of 1300. It all adds up evenly and makes perfectly good sense. The 300 you spent on food was part of the 1300 you still owe, not part of the 200 you repaid.
