You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First calculate all of her assets (house, car, savings, etc.)
A=125000%2B21236%2B15000
A=161236
Then calculate all of her debts and liabilities,
D=78422%2B9477%2B6131
D=94030
Her net worth is the difference,
N=A-D
N=161236-94030
N=67206
Her net worth is $67,206.
