During the summer Nancy decides to run the air conditioner in her house. After running the AC for a week, she checks her balance online and finds it changed from -$25.66 to -$9.66. Did her utility bill increase or decrease?

Answer:

Her utility bill decreased

Explanation:

$-9.66 is closer to 0 but before her bill was -$25.66 so that's farther away so her bill decreased.
