Answer:

Positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 - (-4) = 7 + 4 = 11

Positive is your answer.

So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

That is an annuity and use the attached formula.

Total = 300 * [(1.055)^11 -1] / .055 -300
Total = 300 * 1.8020924036 -1 /.055 -300
Total = 300 * .8020924036 / .055 - 300
Total = 300 * 14.5834982473 -300
Total = 4375.0494741818 -300
