Dirk’s savings account contained $40 at the beginning of the month. During the month, he withdrew (took out) $30 from his account and deposited (put in) $25 into the account. Which statement best describes the balance in his account at the end of this month?
|30| > |-25|, therefore the balance increased
|-30| > |25|, therefore the balance decreased
|30| < |25|, therefore the balance increased
|-30| < |25|, therefore the balance decreased
