Question

Bruce overdrew his checking account by $19, for which his bank charged him a $35 overdraft fee. If he deposits $60, what will his balance be?

Answer 1

He overdrew his account by $19, so he is at $-19. His bank charges $35 fee. -19 - 35 = -54. He deposits $60, so 60 + (-54) = 6. He has $6 as his ending balance.

Answer 2

$44

Explanation:

Given : Bruce overdrew his checking account by $19, for which his bank charged him a $35 overdraft fee.

To Find: If he deposits $60, what will his balance be?

Solution:

Balance in account = $19

Bank charged overdraft free = $35

So, amount remained in account = $19-$35 =-16

Now he deposited $60

So, Remaining amount = -16+60 = $44

Hence his balance will be $44.
