Question

Please help me?

Michelle has a total debt of $28. She is trying to pay back $2 each week for the next 3 weeks. If Michelle is successful, which amount will represent the change in the amount of her debt?

Answer 1

$22

Explanation:

She gives 2 dollars per week for 3 weeks.

If she gives back 2 dollars each 3 weeks, we would solve for 2 x 3

2 x 3 = 6

28 - 6 = 22

$22 dollars represents her amount of debt.

Answer 2

-6

Explanation:

$28

$2/week

$28 - (2x3) = $22

$22 - $28 = -$6
