What is the answer?

Answer 1

Lori had $126.89 in her bank account.

She deposited $21.49 into it and then wrote a check for her car repairs for $156.61

126.89+ 21.49=148.38

148.38-156.61=−8.23

the answer is -8.23

Answer 2

-8.23

Explanation:

If Lori had $126.89 in her bank account and she deposited $21.49, she would be adding that to the amount of money in her bank account.

126.89+21.59= 148.48

Then subtract the amount of money the repairs costed.

148.48 - 156.61 = -8.23

Therefore Lori would have a balance of -$8.23.
