    Question

    Marie's account balance is – $30.62. Jason’s account balance is – $27.55. Identify the balance that represents the lesser amount owed?

    1. - 27.55    
    2. - 30.63    
    3. 30.63    
    4. 27.55    

    hintHint:

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

    The correct answer is: 27.55

      The absolute value of each balance describes the size of each debt, or amount of money owed.
      Hence, 27.55 is the balance that represents the lesser amount owed.
