Question

Mohan deposits Rs 2,000 in his bank account and withdraws Rs 1,642 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? Find 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Since the amount withdrawn is represented by a negative integer, the amount deposited will be represented by a positive integer.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 2000

Amount withdrawn = −Rs 1642

Balance in Mohan’s account = Money deposited + Money withdrawn

= 2000 + (−1642) = 2000 − 1642 = 358

Therefore, balance in Mohan’s account after withdrawal is Rs 358.
