How does Debit and Credit work? I was told Debit is when you are payinf or spedning money and Credit is when you you are recieveing money or gaining something in return. But, I was told that in my lesson that someone bought a phone it was a credit by $350 in a cash account, but in the equipment account they recieved $350 dollars-worth of equipment/ the phone. Can you explain to me what that means please? Thank you!
