Question

Sid has overdrawn his bank account and has a balance of -$7.68. He

receives a paycheck for $363.28 and deposits $147.28 of his
paycheck into his account. How much does Sid have in the bank
account after the deposit is made?

Answer 1

$139.6

Explanation:

1. Sid started off with -7.68 dollars

Now it all depends on how much he deposits into the bank

We know that he received a paycheck of $363.28, but the information we're looking for is the amount deposited, $147.28.

At this point you can just add the starting value with the deposited value:

-7.68 + 147.28

= 139.6

Sid ended up with $139.6 in his bank account after the deposit.
