Jim used his debit card to withdraw $35 from the ATM. Then, he wrote a check for $8.00. Which equation represents the total change to Jim's account for these two transactions?
Responses
A 35 - 8 = 2735 - 8 = 27
B -35 + 8 = -27-35 + 8 = -27
C 35 - (-8) = 4335 - (-8) = 43
D -35 + (-8)= -43
The correct equation would be: -35 + (-8) = -43
Explanation: Jim withdrew $35 from the ATM, which is a loss of $35 (-35). Then, he wrote a check for $8.00, which is another loss of $8 (-8). Therefore, the total change to Jim's account would be a combined loss of $35 and $8, which is equal to -$43 (-35 + (-8) = -43).
The correct equation that represents the total change to Jim's account for these two transactions is:
A) 35 - 8 = 2735 - 8 = 27
