Mimi owes the bank a little less than $20. Which choice could be her balance?
a.$20.75
b.-$20.75
c.-$19.75
d.$19.75

Respuesta :

the answer is c. 

owing the bank means she has a NEGATIVE balance. therefore, choices (a) and (d) are wrong. 

(b) is negative, but the absolute value of -20.75 is 20.75. this would mean that she owes the bank 20.75, but this cannot be right as that is more than 20. 

(c)'s absolute value is 19.75, which is a little less than 20.

Answer: -$19.25
