Amanda is playing her new video game, Track Runner. At first, she earned 20 points for winning a sprint. Then in the next race, she got -25 points when she knocked over most
of her hurdles. What is Amanda's total score now?
To solve the problem, Amy added 20 + (-25) and came up with an answer of 5 points. Is
Amy correct? Why or why not?
Yes, Amy is correct.
No. The answer should have been -5, not 5, because Amanda lost more
points than she gained.
No. Amy should have subtracted 20 - (-25) because Amanda earned negative
points.
