Question

Lucinda is saving money for a hot-air balloon trip to celebrate her graduation. She needs $300 dollars. Express this amount as an integer. Is this represented by a negative number or a positive number?

Answer 1

Positive number

Explanation:

Given that:

Lucinda is saving money for a hot-air balloon trip to celebrate her graduation and she needs $300 dollars.

Let x be the amount of her savings and she needs $300

SO;

x + 300 = 0

As an integer, it is represented by a positive number because she needs this amount of money in addition to what she already saved.
