Question

Brianna has -$37 in her checking account. She deposits $150. Then she writes a check for $61. How many dollars does she have in her checking account now?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If she writes a check for $75, she is essentially withdrawing, or subtracting $75 from her account. However, she is attempting to take out more than she has in the account. This will result in a negative balance.

64 - 75 = 64 + (-75) = -11 dollars
