Question

Ahmad had a balance of $46 in his checking account. He made a deposit of $56, and wrote checks for $17 and $30. His bank charged him a $3 service fee. How much money does Ahmad have in the account?

Answer 1

Answer $52

Explanation: Deposit means to add. So Ahmad deposits (adds) $56 to his account which already has $46. ( 46 + 56 = 102 ) This raises his balance to $102. Then Ahmad writes two check for $17 and $30 meaning he loses these amounts. (102-17 = 85 ) (85- 30 = 55) Lastly he is charged a $3 fee. (55-3= 52 )
