Question

I don't know how to solve this problem!

"Jacob earned $80 babysitting and deposited the money into his savings account. The next week he spent $85 on video games. Use integers to describe the weekly changes in Jacobs savings account balance.

Please help it will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Answer 1

the integers will be $ 5 but they only had $80 so that is my answer

Answer 2

So the amount of money he earned is a positive integer, and the amount of money he spent is a negative integer.
he earned $80, so that's positive, he spent $85,so that's negative. his savings account balance in -$5 since he went over the amount of money he actually made. so his balance is a negative integer.
hope u found that helpful!!
