Question

Joseph withdrew a total of $700 from his bank account after seven transactions. Write a numeric expression using negatives to show the average change in his account during each transaction.

Options:
A) (-$700 / 7)
B) ($700 / 7)
C) (-$7 / 700)
D) ($7 / 700)

Answer 1

The numeric expression for the average change per transaction is (-$700 / 7), representing seven withdrawals totaling $700.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct numeric expression to show the average change in Joseph's bank account during each transaction, using negatives, is (-$700 / 7). This expression signifies that there were seven transactions with an equal amount of withdrawal in each, leading to the total withdrawal of $700. Thus, to find the average change in his account per transaction, we divide the total amount by the number of transactions, which gives us the average amount withdrawn per transaction as a negative since it is a withdrawal.
