Question

Jason is entering college and has opened a checking account, which he will use for college expenses. His parents gave him $200.00 to deposit into the account. Jason wrote a check for $85.00 to pay for his calculus book and a check for $25.34 to pay for miscellaneous school supplies. Write the three rational numbers related to the balance in Jason’s checking account in order from greatest to least.

Answer 1

Answer: The three rational numbers related to the balance in Jason’s checking account in order from greatest to least are:

`(200)/(1) = $200.00`

`(115)/(1) = $115.00`

`(4483)/(50) = $89.66`

Step-by-step-explanation:

Let's start by explaining what a rational number is:

A rational number are all the fractional numbers, nonetheless. all the integer numbers can be also expressed as fractional numbers. e.g.
`(200)/(1)`

Balance Jason’s checking account

1. Deposit by Jason's parents was $200.00

Total balance, first rational number:
`(200)/(1)`

2. Jason's first withdraw to pay his calculus book: $85.00

Total balance $200.00-$85.00 = $115.00

Second rational number:
`(115)/(1)`

3. Jason´s second withdraw to pay for miscellaneous school supplies: $25.34

Total balance $115.00 - $25.34 = $89.66

Third rational number:
`(4483)/(50) = $89.66`
