Question

Garfield had $10 in the bank yesterday. Then, Garfield bought dinner for $14, but didn't realize that he overdrew from his bank. His account balance was negative now and he was in debt! What is the absolute value of his new account balance?

Answer 1

I believe it’s 4 since he’s in dept with 4 dollars so that’ll be -4, but the absolute value is 4 since it’s 4 spaces away from 0.
