Answer 1

To determine how much money the student needs to deposit to bring their account balance from \(-27\) to \(0\), you can set up the equation:

\[ -27 + x = 0 \]

where \(x\) is the amount of money the student needs to add. To solve for \(x\), we can add \(27\) to both sides:

\[ x = 27 \]

Therefore, the student needs to deposit $27 to have a balance of $0.

The correct response is:

$27
