Suppose Johnny invests $2,745 into an account, which has been earning interest for many years and he now has a total of $39,974. In two or more sentences explain why a negative number would/wouldn’t be reasonable in the solution of the rate he received on his investment.

A negative number in this wouldn't be applicable.
Johnny started out with $2,745 in the beginning, EARNING (This being the key word) interest each year. Therefore, he comes out with $39,974, not being a negative number.

Hope I helped! ^-^
