Question

Aileen has a total debt of $45. She is trying to pay back $6 each week for the next 4 weeks. If Aileen is successful, which amount will represent the change in the amount of her debt?​

Answer 1

-24

Explanation:

6 x (-4) = 24

Answer 2

$-21

Explanation:

Since she is paying $6 for 4 weeks, in total she will pay:

6 x 4 = $24

She has an initial balance of $-45 Because she is in debt

Therefore you just need to add it all up

-45 + 24 = $-21
