Alright, let's solve this problem step-by-step.
1. Jacob deposited $50.24 into his bank account.
- A deposit increases the bank account balance, so it is represented as a positive number. Therefore, this situation is represented by \( +50.24 \) or simply \( 50.24 \).
2. Jacob made a withdrawal of $18.00 to purchase books.
- A withdrawal decreases the bank account balance, so it is represented as a negative number. Therefore, this situation is represented by \( -18.00 \).
Now we need to find the correct answer choice that represents these situations:
A. [tex]$50.24,18.00$[/tex]
- This option incorrectly represents the withdrawal as a positive number.
B. [tex]$-50.24,-18.00$[/tex]
- This option incorrectly represents both the deposit and the withdrawal as negative numbers.
C. [tex]$50.24,-18.00$[/tex]
- This option correctly represents the deposit as positive and the withdrawal as negative.
D. [tex]$-50.24,18.00$[/tex]
- This option incorrectly represents the deposit as negative and the withdrawal as positive.
The correct answer is:
C. [tex]$50.24, -18.00$[/tex]
