D. Nevaeh has $102.50 in his bank account. He then deposits $39.95 dollars. How much money is in his bank account now?

Answer 1

The real-world problem that can be solved with the sum of \( 102.50 + (-39.95) \) is:

B. Nevaeh earned $102.50 last weekend. He spent $39.95 on a game. How much does he have left?

In this scenario, you would subtract \( 39.95 \) from \( 102.50 \) (i.e., adding \(-39.95\) instead) to find out how much money Nevaeh has left after spending.
