Step-by-step explanation:
Ishmael made a mistake in his checkbook. He wrote a check for $89.80 for his Verizon bill but mistakenly recorded it in his checkbook as an $89.80 deposit.
A) Represent each transaction with a rational number
A check for $89.80 for Verizon bill = -89.8
A deposit of $89.80 = +89.8
B) Explain the difference between the transactions.
For the first transaction which is a check for his Verizon bill, using a check on your account means Ishmael wants to withdraw money from his account to pay for the bill. The money in his account will be $89.8 lesser than the initial amount there.
For the second transaction which recording in his checkbook a deposit of $89.80 means $89.80 was added to an account.
