Answer 1

To determine how much money Jeffery has left after buying the video game, we start with the amount he earned and subtract the cost of the video game.

Jeffery earned: $52
Cost of video game: $25

Calculating the remaining amount:
\[ 52 - 25 = 27 \]

Jeffery has $27 left.

The additive inverse of a number \( x \) is \( -x \). Therefore, the additive inverse of 27 is:
\[ -27 \]

So, the correct response for the additive inverse of the amount of money Jeffery has left is: -27.
