<span>Subtraction exhibit a property of closure over the set of real numbers because if you subtract two numbers from the real numbers set, the result will still be  a real number.

Example:
Let RS be a set of real numbers.
RS = {1, 2, 3}
Suppose I get 3 and subtract 1, 3 - 1, the result is 2 which is a real number. We can try a non-commutative 1 - 3 and yet it will still give us a real number which is -2.

</span><span>Subtraction is non-commutative because if we interchange numbers in subtraction, the result will either be positive or negative.

Example:
3 - 1 = 2. The answer is 2; but we can not say this is true for 1 - 3 because it will yield -2.

The debt ratio on the Murk is 45% 
<span>The debt ratio on the Mini is 90% </span>
<span>The average between the two is 63% </span>

<span>Payoff are estimates only. Paying $375/mo with the highest interest rate first will have the Mini @ $50/mo paid off by Jul 2016 and the Murk @ $326/mo paid off by Sep 2016. What you'll do is pay the minimum on the lowest interest rate card and apply the remainder of the $375 budget to the highest interest rate card. When the Mini is paid off, combine that payment with the Murk and continue wit the $375 payments.</span>
