Question

Chuck plans to go on a hiking trip. Before the hiking trip, Chuck's bank account has $129.50. He then spends $129.50 on hiking goods in preparation for his trip. He claims that his bank account is now $0. Is Chuck correct? Explain your answer in terms of opposites.

Answer 1

Yes, he is correct. The problem states that he had $129.50 and he spent it all on his hiking trip so he has $0.00 left in his bank account.
