Answer:

1. $-50

2. $25

Explanation:

1. If she had $150 in her bank account and bought a bike for $200, then that means she spent all of her money PLUS $50 extra then what she had. That means $200-$150=$50. Her $150 is spent and that $50 becomes negative because she paid $200 when she only had $150.

2. If she deposits $75 in her account then it will be $75+(-50). That translates to $75-$50 which is $25.

+ and - = -

+ and + = +

- and - = +

Answer:

1. $-50

2. $25

Explanation:

1.

We know that Clare originally had $150 in her account. She then buys a bike, which means she must have taken money out of her account for this purchase.

Since she spent $200, we need to subtract 200 from 150:

150 - 200 = -50

So, her account balance is $-50.

2.

Clare earns $75 later, which means she's receiving the money and can add it back into her account. Her current balance is -50, so we add 75 to -50:

-50 + 75 = $25

Thus, her account balance is now $25.
