2. a. Mr. Chun rewards his students with class money called Chun Change.
Students can spend their Chun Change for special privileges. Mr. Chun
gives his students extra practice with rational numbers by issuing
change in increments of $0.20. Sometimes he allows students to spend
more money than they have, and students must repay the debt. Today,
these are the account balances for the students at Table 4.
Use the number line to label the account balance for each student. Compare
the rational numbers and answer the questions.
b. Who has more Chun Change, Lashaundra or Sumiko? Write an inequality
and explain how you know your answer is correct.
c. Who has less Chun Change, Araceli or Barney? Write the inequality and
explain how you know your answer is correct.
d. Tomorrow, if Javier spends enough change to have the opposite amount
of change he has today, what will his account balance be?
