Question

Cash Orcheck had a balance of $867 in his checking account on

January 1. During January, Cash wrote checks for the following
amounts: $98. $456, $29, and $381. What was his balance at the
end of January?

Answer 1

Well since he wrote the amount, he’s technically giving cash away so you basically jsut add everything.

98+456+29+381= 964

867-964= -97

His final balance would be -97

Here’s the thing, a checking account acts like a debit card. Its your own cold hard cash. That means you can’t give away more then you have.

So here are the two options

1) At least one or at most 2 checks must’ve bounced

2) He got more money in his checking account
