Question

A bank teller assisted two customers with transactions. One customer made a $25 withdrawal from a savings account. The other customer made a $15 deposit. Use absolute value to show the size of each transaction. Which transaction involved more money?

Answer 1

Answer:

The withdrawal of $25 involved more money.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that one customer made a $25 withdrawal from a savings account. The other customer made a $15 deposit.

We know that withdrawal stands for negative number, so withdrawal of $25 would be $-25$

The absolute value of $-25$ would be $|-25|=25$.

We know that deposit stands for positive number, so deposit of $15 would be $15$.

The absolute value of $15$ would be $|15|=15$.

Since the absolute value of withdrawal is more than deposit, therefore, withdrawal involved more money.
