Answer:

-120

Step-by-step explanation:

The change is the total change. Since you lost money, the change will be negative. To find the actual change, use absolute value:

|100| + |-20|

= |100| + |20|

= 100 + 20

= 120

Since the change is negative,

-120.

Absolute value is when you take only the integer, not the sign. For example, if you want to find the distance between two points on a number line.
