Addition and Subtraction

Reasoning

Let's Do!

In second case, Lori had added some money. So, the money presently in her bank was :-

$ (126.89+21.49)

= $ 148.38 is the amount in her bank.

Thirdly, she gave a cheque to repair her car:-

So, we will subtract the amount of cheque from the total.

Amount of money in bank - Cheque for the car

$ 148.28 - $ 156.61

= $ -8.23, and which is not possible. Her cheque will be bounced, as she does not have sufficient money.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

• Lori had $ 126.89 in bank
• Deposited $21.49
• Wrote a check of rupees $156.61 for car repairs.

::

➝ firstly, add the deposited amount with the bank balance

➝ Deposited amount = 21.49

➝ Bank balance = 126.89

➝ 126.89 + 21.49

➝ 148.38

• Drawn a check of $156.61.

➝ So, we have to substract this amount from bank balance

➝ 148.38 - 156.61

➝ -8.23

The amount is $-8.23 . This shows a negative sign that is no more amount or balance is in her account.
