Question

At a department store, Kendra has a debt greater than $25.00. Which could be Kendra’s balance?
Negative 32 dollars
Negative 22 dollars
Negative 19 dollars
Negative 11 dollars

Answer 1

If Kendra has a debt greater than $25.00, this means her balance must be less than -$25.00.

Let's evaluate the options:

- Negative 32 dollars: This is less than -25 dollars. (Valid)
- Negative 22 dollars: This is greater than -25 dollars. (Not valid)
- Negative 19 dollars: This is greater than -25 dollars. (Not valid)
- Negative 11 dollars: This is greater than -25 dollars. (Not valid)

The only option that qualifies as a balance that indicates a debt greater than $25.00 is **Negative 32 dollars**.
