Question

Karla, Ruby, Anna, and Megan each had a balance of $0 in her bank account on the first day of April. Here are their account balances on the second day: Karla: $43 Ruby: -$25 Anna: -$48 Megan: $42 Whose account had the greatest change between the first and second days?

Answer 1

Anna had the biggest change in their bank account because they dropped by $48. The rest of the numbers are closer to zero while -48 is the furthest from zero, therefore it is the biggest change.

Answer 2

Anna's account has the greatest change.

Explanation:

Karla, Ruby, Anna, and Megan each had a balance of $0 in her bank account on the first day of April.

2nd day balances:

Karla: $43

Ruby: -$25

Anna: -$48

Megan: $42

We can see that Anna had the greatest negative changes. Means out of zero, she spent $48 more.

Rest changes, either positive or negative, are lesser than Anna.
