To interpret the sum in the context of the problem, we need to understand what the sum represents.
The sum 56.80 + (-40) = 16.80 represents the difference between Zuri's earnings last week and the amount spent on a video game.
Option A, "$16.80 is the amount Zuri has left from their earnings last week after purchasing the video game," is the correct interpretation. This is because the sum represents the remaining amount of money Zuri has after deducting the cost of the video game from their earnings.
Option B, "$16.80 is how much more Zuri needs to purchase another video game," is incorrect because the sum is not about the amount needed to purchase another video game. It is about the remaining money after purchasing the first video game.
Option C, "16.8 is the number of hours Zuri works each week," is also incorrect because the sum does not represent the number of hours Zuri works.
Option D, "$16.80 is how much Zuri gets paid per hour," is also incorrect. The sum does not represent Zuri's hourly pay rate but rather the remaining amount after purchasing the video game.
Therefore, the correct interpretation in this case is option A.
