Question

Lucia deposits $44.60 into her bank account on Tuesday Morning. Tuesday afternoon, she withdraws to $26.30 and $21.30. Does Luisa have more or less money on Tuesday night than she did on Monday night? Does this equation tell whether Luisa has more or less money on Tuesday night than Monday night? Explain.

Answer 1

Less than

Explanation:

Using the data from the question, we can create the following equation to solve this...

44.60 - (26.30 + 21.30) = x

44.60 - (47.60) = x

-3 = x

As you can see Lucia withdrew more money than what she actually deposited which means that her account balance on Tuesday Night is less than what it was on Monday night before the initial deposit. This can all be seen using the above equation which is designed.
