Answer 1

D subtracting $6.23 from an account balance of $5.23

Explanation:

Numbers to the left of 0 on the number line are negative. The values in options A–C are all positive.

Subtracting more from an account than the account has in it (option D) will result in a negative balance. That value will be plotted left of 0 on the number line.
