The bank balances of several people are as follows: $123.49, $75.23, −$123.69

Question

, $75.89, −$123.43
. Which balance is the lowest? Give the answer in dollars

Answer 1

To determine the lowest bank balance, we will compare the given values:

1. $123.49
2. $75.23
3. −$123.69
4. $75.89
5. −$123.43

The negative values (−$123.69 and −$123.43) indicate that these balances are deficits. To determine which is the lowest, we can look at the negative balances more closely:

• −$123.69 is lower than −$123.43 since −$123.69 is further away from zero.

Comparing all the values, we find that the lowest balance is:

−$123.69

So, the answer in dollars is −$123.69.
