Question

- In a bank account, a paid-out expense is

called a debit, and a deposit is called a credit.



Would you use positive or negative integers to



represent credits? Debits? Explain.

Answer 1

The answer is yes. I would use a positive integer to represent a credit and a negative integer to represent a debt.

Explanation:

The reason for the answer above is simply because the word credit means addition or transfer of funds to a bank account .

While

Debit means the removal or subtraction of funds from a bank account.
