In which month did he have the least amount of money in his account?

Answer 1

It would be March because he had - 165 which is less than -156.

Answer 2

March.

Explanation:

We have been given that in March Tom had -£165 in his bank account. In April he had -£156.

We know that the a biggest negative number has least value as biggest negative numbers lie on the extreme left on the number line.

Since -£165 is more negative than -£156, so -£165 is the least amount.

Therefore, Tom had least amount of money in his account in March.
