Question

Stephanie has $152 in the bank. She withdraws $20. Then she deposits $84. Write an addition expression to represent this situation. Then find the sum and explain its meaning.

Answer 1

The clue words are 'withdraws' and 'deposit'

Withdraws means taking away
Deposit means adding on

The expression is 152 - 20 + 84

Working out the sum, we have 216 and this result represents the balance in the bank account
