    Question

    John's account balance is – $10.83. Peter’s account balance is – $17.25. Identify the balance that represents the lesser amount owed?

    1. - 17.25    
    2. - 10.83    
    3. 10.83    
    4. 17.25    

    hintHint:

    Absolute value is the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign. Also called modulus.

    The correct answer is: 10.83

      The absolute value of each balance describes the size of each debt, or amount of money owed.
      Hence, 10.83 is the balance that represents the lesser amount owed.
