3. Samuel's bank account started the week with -$200. He deposited his
paycheck of $550 on Friday. On Saturday he buys a TV for $800. What is his
new account balance now? *

Answer:

The answer is -$450

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel starts off with -$200. Depositing money or paychecks means to add money into your account, so we add $550 to -$200, and we get $350.

Then, Samuel bought a TV, and when you buy something, you take money out of your bank account. We subtract $800, the cost of the TV, from $350, the money in the bank, and we get to -$450, the current balance.
