Sara's savings account balance changed by -$34 one week and by -$67 the next week .Which amount represents the greater change?
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 = \(- \$ 34\)
Change in Sara's savings account balance in next week = \(- \$ 67\)
Tens digit in 34 = 3
Tens digit in 67 = 6
If we compare the tens digit of 34 and 67, we get \(6> 3\)
So, \(67> 34\)
On multiplying both sides by -1 , we get \(-67< -34\).
{ 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 .
