Question 1127194: The table shows the monthly change in Sara's bank account balance for each month listed. For example, the account balance change of -30 means that Sara's balance decreased by $30 from the beginning of the month to the end of the month of February.
Month Account Balance Change (Dollars)
January +38
February -30
March -19
April +49
Determine whether each statement about Sara's bank account balance is true or false, based on the information in the table.
A. Sara has less money in her account at the end of February than at the end of any month.
B. Sara's account balance is the same at the end of April as it is at the end of January.
C. Sara has more money in her account at the end of April than she did at the beginning of January.
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In March the balance was less than February, so A is false.
Gained 38 in January--38
Lost 30 in February--now 8
Lost 19 in March--now -11
Gained 49 in April--now 38
At the beginning of January, she had 0 by this scale, since she gained 38 that month. She had more money at the end of April than the beginning of April
C is true.
B is also true, since she had 49 negative after January and 49 positive. No change.
