Question

A debt of $32.00 a saving of $100 use an integer to describe the situation

Answer 1

A debt of $32 will be denoted as -32.

A saving of $100 can be denoted as +100.

Explanation:

Debt is a negative value that you always subtract from your account.

So, it is denoted with a minus sign.

So, a debt of $32 will be denoted as -32.

Savings is a type of credit that you add to your account balance.

So, a saving of $100 can be denoted as +100.

Answer 2

A debt of $ 32= -32

and Saving of $100=+100

Why i have denoted debt by negative sign and savings by positive sign.

This can be the reason that integers came into existence.

Integers =[.....-100,....-90,.....-10,.....0,.....5,......50,......1000,...]

Debt means you have taken something from someone. Suppose you have taken $32 from your friend Glant and told him that after 6 months i will return you this money, he replied if i forget than you told him that i am writing this in my diary which i use everyday.Having learnt integers you have written a debt of $32 by

-32⇒Glant dated(23/9/2018)

Similarly you saved $100 in a month and kept in your saving box

and written in your diary as

+100⇒Saving in the month of January 2018.

Similarly we represent things which i possess by positive integers like number of garments i have (+25),amount of money in my saving bank account($10,256) and thing that 2000 people died due to a Desease, height of a tunnel, we represent it by negative sign i.e (-2,000),(-1188 cm).
