1) The additive inverse of a number is the number that, when added to the original number, equals zero. To find the additive inverse of 125,000, you simply change the sign of the number. In this case, the original number is positive, so the additive inverse will be negative.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A) -125,000
To get this answer, you can simply change the sign of the original number.
2) To express the amount that will be withdrawn for the subscription as an integer, we need to calculate the total amount for one year. Since the subscription price is $5 per month, we multiply $5 by 12 months to get the total amount for one year.
$5/month * 12 months = $60/year
However, the question asks for the amount that will be withdrawn, which means it will be deducted from Emma's checking account. In this case, since it is a deduction, we use a negative sign to represent it.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) -$60
To arrive at this answer, you calculate the total amount for one year and then add a negative sign to represent the deduction from Emma's checking account.
