Question

Andrew withdrew $5.75 from his account each day for 7 total days. What is the amount of change in his account after his final withdrawal. (for example, if his account increased by 50, the answer would be 50 and if his account decreased by 50, the answer would be -50)

Answer 1

Andrew withdrew $5.75 for 7 days, totaling a change of -$40.25 in his account. This represents a decrease in his account balance.

The question asks for the total amount of change in Andrew's account after withdrawing $5.75 each day for 7 days. To find this amount, we simply multiply the daily withdrawal amount by the number of days he made the withdrawal:

$5.75 × 7 days = $40.25

Since this is a withdrawal, it represents a decrease in his account balance, so the change in his account will be a negative number.

The total change in Andrew's account is -$40.25.
