To determine the total value of the plumber's liabilities, we need to identify all the liabilities listed and add them together. The liabilities are:

1. Mortgage: \[tex]$149,367 2. Credit Card Balance: \$[/tex]6,283
3. Kitchen Renovation Loan: \[tex]$12,275 Now, let's add these amounts step by step: 1. Add the Mortgage and Credit Card Balance: \[ 149,367 + 6,283 = 155,650 \] 2. Next, add the Kitchen Renovation Loan to the intermediate sum: \[ 155,650 + 12,275 = 167,925 \] Therefore, the total value of the plumber's liabilities is: \[ \$[/tex] 167,925
