Question

A checking account is overdrawn if it has a negative balance. Marc’s account is overdrawn by $45. What will the balance be after he deposits $170 and writes a check for $59?

Answer 1

Since, it is given that that a checking account is overdrawn if it has a negative balance.

Firstly, Marc’s account is overdrawn by $45.

So, Marc's Account balance = - $45

Now, he deposits $170.

So, Marc's account balance = - $45+ $170

= $125

Then, he writes a check for $59.

So, now Marc's  account balance = $125 - $59

= $66

Therefore, Marc's account balance is $66.
