When Evan was snorkeling this morning, his depth relative to sea level was –8 feet. Later when he was parasailing, his height relative to sea level was 64 feet greater than when he was snorkeling. What integer represents Evan's height relative to sea level while parasailing?

Answer 1

To find Evan's height relative to sea level while parasailing, we start with his snorkeling depth. His depth while snorkeling is given as –8 feet, which means he is 8 feet below sea level.

Next, when he is parasailing, his height relative to sea level is stated to be 64 feet greater than his snorkeling depth. Therefore, we calculate the height while parasailing by adding 64 feet to the snorkeling depth:

\[ \text{Height while parasailing} = \text{Snorkeling depth} + 64 \]

Substituting in the value of the snorkeling depth:

\[ \text{Height while parasailing} = -8 + 64 \]

Now, perform the addition:

\[ -8 + 64 = 56 \]

Thus, Evan's height relative to sea level while parasailing is:

\[ \boxed{56} \text{ feet} \]

Answer 2

Emilio opened a checking account last month. The table shows the transactions for his account during the first month.



Transactions Amount
Initial Deposit $600
Withdrawals $120
Deposits $330
Debit Card Purchases $116




What is Emilio's account balance at the end of the first month?

Answer 3

To calculate Emilio's account balance at the end of the first month, we need to consider the initial deposit, the withdrawals, and the additional deposits.

1. Initial Deposit: $600
2. Withdrawals: $120
3. Deposits: $330
4. Debit Card Purchases: $116

We will calculate the balance step-by-step:

1. Start with the initial deposit: \[ \text{Balance} = 600 \]

2. Subtract the total withdrawals and debit card purchases from the account: \[ \text{Total Withdrawals} = \text{Withdrawals} + \text{Debit Card Purchases} = 120 + 116 = 236 \]

3. Now, update the balance after these withdrawals: \[ \text{Balance after withdrawals} = 600 - 236 = 364 \]

4. Finally, add the deposits to the current balance: \[ \text{Final Balance} = 364 + 330 = 694 \]

Thus, Emilio's account balance at the end of the first month is $694.
