Identify story: Identify the correct story for using the quotient −15÷−3.
Analyzing choice (A): Analyze choice (A): If Victoria sees no green signs and 15 white signs, each worth −3 points, her score calculation would be 0+(15×−3)=−45.
Analyzing choice (B): Analyze choice (B): If Victoria ends with a score of −15 and each white sign is worth −3 points, the calculation to find the number of white signs she sees is −15÷−3.
