Answer :

Final answer:

The temperature on Sunday would be 82 degrees Fahrenheit.Therefore, the correct answer is option: (A).

Explanation:

To find the temperature on Sunday, we need to start with the temperature on Friday, which was 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, we need to apply the temperature changes for both Saturday and Sunday.



On Saturday, the temperature changed by -2 degrees, which means it decreased by 2 degrees Fahrenheit. So, the temperature on Saturday would be 82 degrees - 2 degrees = 80 degrees Fahrenheit.



On Sunday, the temperature changed by 2 degrees, which means it increased by 2 degrees Fahrenheit. So, the temperature on Sunday would be 80 degrees + 2 degrees = 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
