a) Mario just wrote a check for $49.25
b)The bank owes Mario a little more than $50
c)Mario owes the bank a little more than $50
d)Mario owes the bank a little less than $50

Answer 1

D) Mario owes the bank a little less than $50

Answer 2

D) Mario owes the bank a little less than $50.

Explanation:

We know that Mario's bank account has a balance of -49.25 dollars.

The negative sign means that Mario doesn't have any money, in fact, he owes to the bank $49.25, that's what means the minus sign.

Basically, we could say that Mario owed the bank a little less than $50, because $49.25 < $50.

Therefore, the right answer is D.
