    Unhappy metal sphere

    A metal sphere has a charge of +8.02uC. What is the net charge after 6.19E+13 electrons have been placed on it?

    I have tried this numerous times and nothing I get ever works...

    please help if you can

    A single electron carries a charge of -1.6 \times 10^{-19}~C. So 6.19 \times 10^{13} electrons carries a charge of what?
