Question

Jacob earned $80 babysitting and deposited the money into his savings account. The next week he spent $85 on video games. Use integers to describe the weekly changes in Jacobs savings account balance.

Answer 1

Since Jacob deposited the $80, this would be represented by +80 as an integer.

Then spending $85 would be represented as -85 as an integer.

NOTE: After these two transactions, his savings account would have $5 less in total.
