Question

Felicia had $358.63 in her checking account. She wrote a check for $502.14. How much money does she have in her checking account now?

Answer 1

-$143.51

Explanation:

To find out how much money Felicia has in her checking account now, we need to subtract the amount of the check from the amount of money she had in her account before. We can do this using the following equation:

Amount of money now = Amount of money before - Amount of check

Amount of money in checking account now = $358.63 - $502.14

Amount of money in checking account now = -$143.51

Felicia has - $143.51 in her checking account now.

This means that she is overdrawn by $143.51.
