The balance in Beth's checking account is $75. She must deposit enough money in her account to be able to pay the electric bill, which is $110. How much should she deposit?

Answer 1

75+d=110 subtract 75 from both sides

d=$35

So she needs to deposit at least $35 to be able to pay the electric bill.

Answer 2

She should deposit $35.00 in her account.

Explanation:

The balance in Beth's checking account = $75.00

She must deposit enough money in her account to be able to pay the electric bill, which is = $110.00

So we have to subtract 75 from 110 to get how much more money she needs to deposit the electric bill.

$110.00 - $75.00= $35.00

She should deposit $35.00 in her account.
