The correct real-world problem that could be solved with the expression \( 102.50 + (-39.95) \) is:
2. Nevaeh earned $102.50 last weekend. He then spent $39.95 on a new game. How much money from his weekend earnings does he have left?
This statement involves starting with an amount \( 102.50 \) (earnings) and then subtracting \( 39.95 \) (the cost of the game), which is represented by adding a negative value, hence \( 102.50 + (-39.95) \).
