Question

Andrew has 37$ in his bank account and writes a check for 87$ . After the check has been cashed , what will the bank balance show?​

Answer 1

Does he have the check or is he giving the check to someone else??

Answer 2

Answer: -50

Explaination: when you write a check, you are withdrawing money.

This means that Andrew will have -50 in his bank balance.

You add the 37 dollars currently in his bank account, but you also add the -87, (in this case is negative since you are withdrawing), which makes your answer -50.
