Marcos has a bank account balance of -$42.30 at the start of the month. After he deposits $16.50, what is his new balance?​

Sagot :

Answer:

$25.80

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to add 16.50 to -42.30

Answer:  -$25.80

This balance is negative.

================================================================

Explanation:

Start with -42.30 and add on 16.50

-42.30+16.50 = -25.80 is the final balance

The negative balance means Marcos owes this amount of money to the bank. This is true even though he deposited $16.50; he would need to deposit another $25.80 to get out of debt (this is assuming that there aren't any other bank fees coming down the line).

We can think of -42.30+16.50 as 42.30-16.50, but then make the result negative since -42.30 has a larger absolute value compared to 16.50
