Answer 1

To find Benson's new balance, subtract the overdraft fee from his initial balance and then add his deposit.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new balance for Benson's bank account, we need to follow the given steps:

1. Start with Benson's initial balance of -$12.
2. Apply the overdraft fee of $39, which decreases his balance to -$51.
3. Add Benson's deposit of $75, which increases his balance to $24.

Therefore, Benson's new balance is $24.
