Question

You withdraw $40 each month from your savings account. what integer represents the change in your balance after 4 months?

Answer 1

The balance would be $160 from whatever it was before the 4 months.

Explanation:

Since the bank balance is being added by 40 for each month for 4 months, 4 * 40 is just 4*4 with an extra zero on the end. so that would be $160.

So if the balance before was $40, then the new balance after 4 months would be $200.

If there's no money previously, then there is now $160 after 4 months.

If there's a value before the $40 for 4 months, let me know and I will explain and tell you what it is.
