Question

Santos's bank account was overdrawn. The status of his account was $-189. He did not realize the problem and wrote another check for $30. Then the bank charged him $15 for being overdrawn. What was the new status of Santos's account at this point?​

Answer 1

Answer: Santos's account's balance would be -$234.

Explanation:

Santos's balance was at
`-189`.

He wrote a check, so it takes
`30` from his bank account:
`-189-30=-219`.

Because he made an overdraft, his bank charged him a fee of
`15`:
`-219-15=-234`.
