Sara's savings account balance changed by -$34 one week and by -$67 the next week .Which amount represents the greater change?

Sagot :

The greater change is represented by the absolute magnitude

|-34| = 34
|-67| = 67

67 > 34

-67 represents the greater change

Answer:

Change in one week is more than the change in the next week

Step-by-step explanation:

Change in Sara's savings account balance in one week = [tex]- \$ 34[/tex]

Change in Sara's savings account balance in next week = [tex]- \$ 67[/tex]

Tens digit in 34 = 3

Tens digit in 67 = 6

If we compare the tens digit of 34 and 67, we get [tex]6> 3[/tex]

So, [tex]67> 34[/tex]

On multiplying both sides by -1 , we get [tex]-67< -34[/tex].

{ We know that negative sign changes sign of inequality }

So, we get change in one week is more than the change in the next week .
