Question

Alaina has $28 in her account. She wants to purchase a pair of shoes that costs $45. If Alaina makes the purchase, which integer will represent the amount of money in Alaina’s account?

Answer 1

$-17

Explanation:

Well, she has $28, and wants to get a loan for a pair of shoes. That means she will have negative money in her account. This is because $45 is greater than $28 and the $28 is the one being taken from. This leaves the answer to be $-17.
