Add all the points that Sophia got in five rounds.

50 + (– 15) + (– 10) + 75 + 40

= (50 + 75 + 40) + (– 15) + (– 10)

= 165 + (-25)

= 165 – 25

=140

So, Sophia got 140 points in all the five rounds.

The money that is deposited is represented by a positive integer because it is adding money to the account.

The money that is withdrawn is represented by a negative integer because it is subtracting money.

Amount deposited = $5,000

Amount withdrawn = $3,150

The balance in Max's account = 5,000 + (-3150)

= 5,000 – 3150

= 1850

So, Max has $1850 left in his bank account after withdrawing money for his vacation.
