Suppose Marisol has $800 in her savings account. She withdraws A dollars from her account. Deciding that this is not enough, she makes another withdrawal of B dollars. The amount of money left in her savings account now equals zero. What integers represent the withdrawals from her account?
The total amount of money withdrawn is equal to the amount she had in her savings account:
A + B = $800
The amount left in her savings account is zero, which means that the total amount withdrawn is equal to the original balance:
A + B = $800
Therefore, the integers representing the withdrawals from her account are $400 and $400.

Let's use the information provided in the question:
1. Marisol has $800 in her savings account.
2. She withdraws A dollars from her account.
3. She then makes another withdrawal of B dollars.
4. The amount left in her savings account now equals zero.
Based on this, we can write the equation:
$800 - A - B = $0
Simplifying this equation, we get:
A + B = $800
This equation represents the total amount withdrawn from Marisol's account. The integers that represent the withdrawals from her account are A = -200 and B = -600. So, the correct answer is:
-200 and -600
