Question

One afternoon, 27 people withdraw $100 from an ATM. What was the overall change in the amount of money in the machine?​

Answer 1

When 27 people withdraw $100 from an ATM, the overall change in the amount of money in the machine is -2,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

When 27 people withdraw $100 from an ATM, the total amount of money withdrawn is calculated by multiplying the number of people by the amount withdrawn. In this case, 27 x $100 = $2,700. The overall change in the amount of money in the machine is equal to the negative of the total amount withdrawn. Therefore, the overall change in the amount of money in the machine is -2,700.

Answer 2

The change is a decrease of $2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Number of people = 27

Amount each person withdrew = $100

The total withdrawn amount by 27 people = 100 × 27

= $2700

Let M be the amount of money in the ATM at the beginning.

As $2700 was drawn from the ATM, therefore, the change the amount of money in the machine will be:

• M - 2700

It means the change is a decrease of $2700.
