Question

Mrs. Gilus is in charge of the budget for the school. Last year, we began the year with &708.88 in our bank account, but by the end of the year we owed $347.99. What rational number can be used to describe the change in the bank account’s balance? Plz I will give you 100 points

Answer 1

It sounds like they had $708.88 at the beginning, however by the end of the year they OWED $347.99. The first number is in the positive while the other is a negative. Add the last number to the first number for the amount that they have spent which would be $1,056.87.
