Question

Ben Spender writes a $60 check which is retumed by his bank with additional charges. The company he wrote the

check to, Art Supply Inc., also charges $20 for returned checks, which of the following represents the amount Ben must
have to balance his debts.
less than $80
$80
more than $50

Answer 1

Answer: more than $80

Explanation:

Ben weites a check of $60, wich is returned with aditional charges (so now he must spend more than $60)

And the company also charges him by $20.

So the amount of Ben must have to balance his debts is:

the initial $60 + the $20 charged + the additional charges of the bank.

Then he needs to have more than $80 to balance his debts.
