Question

Peter made two transactions today at his bank. what can the sum -47.27 plus 598= 550.73 mean in terms of peters bank account? i need help!!

Answer 1

Peter withdrew $47.27 and deposited $598, increasing his balance by $550.73

Explanation:

If you find the original balance of Peter's bank account, it is zero. (as shown below)

550.73 - 598 = -47.27

-47.27 + 47.27 = 0

Peter takes away $47.27 from zero, which makes it negative. Then, he deposits $598, which would increase Peter's bank account from $0 to $550.73

Answer 2

Peter withdrew $47.27 and deposited $598, decreasing his balance by $550.73.

Step-by-step explanation:

He took $42.27 from his bank account, and then put in $598, which made the final total $550.73
