Question 5 • SS-Math 7

Ingrid spends $120 on car repairs. Which integer represents the amount of money Ingrid must earn in order to create a zero pair?

Answer
A
–240
B
–120
C
120
D
240

Explanation

Spending $120 is represented by –120 because it decreases Ingrid’s money. To create a zero pair, she needs the opposite amount, +120, since –120 + 120 = 0. Therefore, the correct choice is 120.
