Which absolute value statement tells about the money in John's account after his purchases? A) |80 - 14 - 22| = 44 B) |80 + 14 - 22| = 44 C) |80 - 14 + 22| = 44 D) |-80 + 14 + 22| = -44

Answer 1

Option A)

|80 - 14 - 22| = 44

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Deposit amount = $80

Cost of CD = $14

Cost of basketball = $22

We have to write an absolute value statement about the money in John's account after his purchases.

Since $80 were deposited it was added in account and purchasings of $14 and $22 were removed from the account.

Thus, the correct absolute value statement is

Option A)

|80 - 14 - 22| = 44
