Question

Alex had $29 in a bank account. He withdrew $13 for pizza and then $18 for a movie. How much money does Alex have left in his account?

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

18 plus 13 is 41 29 subtracted from 41 is -12

Answer 2

- $2

Explanation:

Alex withdrew money twice, or he subtracted those amounts from the total that he had.

In this case, he withdrew $13 first, and then $18, or:

13 + 18 = 31

$31 dollars in all.

Alex had $29. Subtract the total that he withdrew from the amount he had:

29 - 31 = -2

Alex has - $2, or he owes the bank $2 with interest.
