Answer 1

To find the amount of money Parker has after purchasing the instant camera, we subtract the cost of the camera from the money Parker has:

Parker's initial amount: $40
Cost of the instant camera: $55

Calculation:
$40 - $55 = -$15

So, the amount of money Parker has after the purchase is represented by:

−15 (negative 15).
