    Johnathan works part time on weekends at the movie theater while going to school during the week. His paycheck for this pay period was $225.

    When he got up to go to school Monday morning his car would not start. His dad had the car towed to the mechanic and had the car repaired. The towing bill and repair bill totaled $225.

    How much did Johnathan have left from his paycheck?

    $225 + (-$225) = 0

    0 is the answer when you add opposites
