Question

Mohan deposits Rs 5,000 in his bank account and withdraws Rs 3,642 from it, the next day. If withdrawal of amount from the account is represented by a negative integer, then how will you represent the amount deposited? what is the balance in Mohan’s account after the withdrawal

Answer 1

Since the amount withdrawn is represented by a negative integer, the amount deposited will be represented by a positive integer.

Amount deposited = Rs 5000

Amount withdrawn = −Rs 3642

Balance in Mohan’s account = Money deposited + Money withdrawn

= 5000 + (−3642) = 5000 − 3642 = 1358

Therefore, balance in Mohan’s account after withdrawal is Rs 1358.
