Answer 1

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

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

Now, we calculate the remaining amount:

\[ 52 - 25 = 27 \]

Jeffery has $27 left.

The additive inverse is the number that, when added to another number, results in zero. The additive inverse of $27 is -27.

Thus, the correct response is:

-27
