Question

Kathy had $45.67 in her checking account. She wrote a check for $65.23. What was her balance after the check was cashed?

Answer 1

$-19.56

Explanation:

Money in Checking: $45.67

Money written in the check: $65.23

Since the money she wrote a check for is more than the amount she has in her checking account her balance is $-19.56. You simply subtract money in the checking account by the money she wrote in the check.

Answer 2

-19.56
45.67-65.23=-19.56
