Question

Sheela deposit ₹5000 in post office and withdraws ₹3700 after one month. If the amount withdrawn is represented in the form of negative number then how will we represent the deposited amount? What is the amount left in the account after withdrawal?

Answer 1

The deposited amount will be shown by a positive number.

Amount remaining after withdrawal = (+ 5000) + (- 3700 )

= ₹(5000 – 3700)

= ₹1300 (Positive)
