1. Mr. Kindle invested some money in the stock market. He tracks his galns and losses using a computer program. Mr. Kindle recelves a daily email that updates him on all his transactions from the previous day. This morning, his email read as follows: Good morning, Mr. Kindle, Yesterday's investment activity included a loss of $800, o gain of $960, and another gain of $230. Log in now to see your current balance. Write an integer to represent each gain and loss. Description Integer Representation Loss of $800 Gain of $960 Gain of $230

Answer 1

He had a loss of $800 at first on his investment and later had consecutive gains of $960 and $230.

Let

His investment = y

The balance on his current account will therefore be represented as follows

The integers that represents the loss of $800 = - 800 (the opposite of the gain of 800)

The integers that represents the gain of $960 = 960 (the opposite of a loss of 960)

The integers that represents the gain of $230 = 230 (the opposite of a loss of 230)
