Integers, SM-Bank 036

James runs a tyre fitting company.

At the beginning of February he took out a `$50\ 000` bank loan to expand his workshop.

In July James had flood damage in his workshop and added `$20\ 000` to his bank loan to pay for repairs. 

By the end September he had made loan repayments totalling `$12\ 000` and had also deposited business profits of `$15\ 000` into his loan account.

Write a number sentence and use it to calculate how much James owed at the end of September. (3 marks)

  `= -70\ 000+27\ 000 `  
  `= -43\ 000`  

`:.\ text(James’ debt at the end of September)\= -$43\ 000`
