Answer

So, Roger owes his father a total of $40$ dollars.

Steps

Step 1 ：Roger owes his father $15. He borrows another $25 from him. What integer represents the balance that he owes his father?

Step 2 ：Let's denote the initial amount Roger owes his father as $i n i t i a l_d e b t = 15$

Step 3 ：Roger borrows an additional amount, let's denote this as $a d d i t i o n a l_d e b t = 25$

Step 4 ：We can find the total amount Roger owes his father by adding the initial debt and the additional debt. $t o t a l_d e b t = i n i t i a l_d e b t + a d d i t i o n a l_d e b t$

Step 5 ：Substituting the given values, we get $t o t a l_d e b t = 15 + 25 = 40$

Step 6 ：So, Roger owes his father a total of $40$ dollars.
