AJ had $77. They purchased a sleeping bag for $99. Represent how much money AJ now has.(1 point)
AJ now has -$22.
To represent how much money AJ now has, we need to subtract the cost of the sleeping bag from the initial amount he had.
Initial amount AJ had = $77
Cost of the sleeping bag = $99
Amount AJ now has = Initial amount - Cost of the sleeping bag
Amount AJ now has = $77 - $99
To subtract $99 from $77, we need to borrow from the tens place.
7 in the tens place cannot be borrowed from, so we need to borrow 1 from the hundreds place.
The 7 in the tens place then becomes a 17.
17 - 9 = 8
The ones place remains the same.
Therefore, AJ now has $-22.
