Answer 1

1/ -$50

2/ $25

Explanation:

We know

Clare has $150 in her bank account. She buys a bike for $200.

What is Clare's account balance now?

150 - 200 = -$50

So, Clare's balance now is -$50

If Clare earns $75 the next week from delivering newspapers and deposits it in her account, what will her account balance be then?

We take

-50 + 75 = $25

So, her balance will be $25
