Question

Mr. Henderson did not realize his checking account had a balance of $200 when he used his debit card for a $317.25 purchase. What is his checking account balance after the purchase?

Answer 1

-114.25. 200 - 314.25 would equal a negative because Mr. Henderson didn't have enough money.   

Answer 2

All you have to do is subtract 200-317.25 to get -117.25
