To determine the correct order of the friends from the least bank balance to the greatest bank balance, we'll review each person's bank balance and sort them in ascending order.

Balancing Details:
- Zoe: [tex]$10.98 - Yvette: -$[/tex]11.32
- Xavier: -[tex]$11.71 - Wyatt: $[/tex]11.75
- Vern: [tex]$10.89 Step-by-Step Ordering: 1. Start by identifying the negative balances, as these will be the smallest: - Xavier: -$[/tex]11.71 (smallest)
- Yvette: -[tex]$11.32 (next smallest) 2. Next, consider the positive balances: - Vern: $[/tex]10.89 (smallest positive balance)
- Zoe: [tex]$10.98 (next smallest positive balance) - Wyatt: $[/tex]11.75 (largest positive balance)

Combining these in ascending order, the people are:

Order from least to greatest bank balance:
1. Xavier: -[tex]$11.71 2. Yvette: -$[/tex]11.32
3. Vern: [tex]$10.89 4. Zoe: $[/tex]10.98
5. Wyatt: $11.75

Thus, the correct list that shows the people in order of the least bank balance to the greatest bank balance is:

Xavier, Yvette, Vern, Zoe, Wyatt
