Question

what can the sum of -29.27+426= 396.73 mean in terms of a bank account ?

Answer 1

you added $426 to a bank account that owed the bank 29.27, which effectively takes you out of debt, and the bank would pay you interest, not you the bank
(also means it is easier to take out loans)

hope this helps

Answer 2

Hello! With the sum of that, that could mean that someone had a negative balance, where they withdrew too much from the account, and then added more money into the account to get it back up into the positive. In the form of a word problem, it would be like this:

"Lea has a bank account with a current balance of -$29.27. She puts in a deposit of $426 into her bank account. How much money does Lea have in her bank account now?"

And the answer for that questions would be $396.73.
