Step-by-step explanation:

Tessa originally had $110 in her account, we need to find the account balance (the final amount in her account) after all of her deposits and expenses.

We start by considering that she paid $75 for the cable/internet bill, we discount 75 to the original amount of 110:


110-75=35

Then, she had a deposit of $50 from her part-time job, therefore, this amount was added to her account, now we add 50 to the 35 that she had left:


35+50=85

Finally, she wrote a check for $85 to pay her credit card, thus, this amount was discounted from the previous $85:


85-85=0

In the end, she has $0 left, and the account balance is 0 dollars.

Answer: 0 dollars.
