Hey there!

The magnitude of 218 will always be 218 because the absolute value of a positive number is always itself. The magnitude of -218 will be 218 as well because the absolute value of a negative number is the positive version of the number without the negative sign. You are essentially dropping or ignoring the negative sign.

Therefore, the magnitude of an account of -218 Dollars is 218 dollars
