Answer 1

We use negative values for the money Arleen spends.

a) We determine the change to the value on her gift card:

4(-35)+(-9)= -140+(-9)=-149

b) We determine the amount on money she has left on the gift card after renting the tiller and buying the rake:

200+(-149)=51

Since she has got $51 on her gift card and a wheelbarrow is $50 she is able to buy it:

51>50

RESULT

a) -$149 less b) yes
