Answer:

Resultant displacement is 240 feet west.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that George starts at the origin of coordinates and walks to the left (west) to position 320 feet, then he turns around and walks to the right (east) for 80 feet.So he is now (320 - 80 = 240) feet from the origin but still to the left of it. This means he is 240 feet west from where he started.
