Question

John's bank account was overdrawn. The status of his account was $-141. He did not realize the problem and wrote another check for $29. The bank charged him a $15 fee for being overdrawn. What was the new status of John's account at this point ?

Answer 1

$-185

Explanation:

If Johns bank account is at $-141, and he continues to use money, then the equation would look something like this:
-141 + -29 + -15 =?

It's simple! Just add the numbers together!

141 + 29 = 170

170 + 15 = 185

Johns bank account status is now $-185.
