a. (3)(−17.25) = −51.75; he withdrew $51.75

B. (−3)(17.25) = −51.75; he withdrew $51.75

c. (3)(17.25) = 51.75; he withdrew $51.75

D. (−3)(−17.25) = 51.75; he withdrew $51.75​

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

It is A because the minus in front of the 17.25 shows that Paul is withdrawing 17.25 dollars every week. Multiplying that with 3 shows the number of times he withdrew money.
