Question

Callie was billed $416.48 for car repairs. She will pay the service center in 4 equal monthly installments from her bank account. What is the net change in her bank account balance after each monthly payment?

Answer 1

The amount of the bill, -$416.48, will be deducted from Callie’s account in equal amounts over 4 months. So, the expression representing the net change in her account balance each month is -416.484/4.

Explanation:

Answer 2

First, let's divide $416.48 by 4 to see how much Callie has to repay each month:
$416.48÷4= $104.12
So, Callie will have $104.12 less than what she earned each month once you take away the money she is paying for car repairs.
