Question

the credit card company of $406. Find your new credit card balance.

Answer 1

You have $284 in your credit card balance. 186-174= 12. 99+35= 134 and then 12-134= -122. So 406-122= 284.

Answer 2

$88.00

Explanation:

You had a credit card balance of $186.

This means you have to pay $186.

Then you purchased books costs = $174

CDs for = $35

and a pair of shoes for = $99

Now your balance would be = 186 + 174 + 35 + 99

= $494

You made a payment to the credit card company of = $406

Now your new credit card balance would be = 494 - 406

= $88.00

Your new credit card balance would be $88.00
