Question

Suppose Johnny invests $41,745 into an account, which has been earning interest for many years and he now has a total of $39,974. In two or more sentences explain why a negative number would/wouldn’t be reasonable in the solution of the rate of the investment. WRITER

Answer 1

It would not be reasonable for Johnny to have a negative amount in the investment. This is because you cannot earn negative dollars. And he is not spending money in this case. Therefore, it is unreasonable for him to have a negative number for this situation.
