Answer:

Jason deposited $284.22 into his account

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of money deposited by Jason into his bank account that turned his balance from negative to surplus.

Let the amount deposited be $x.

Mathematically,

$-173.22 + $x = $111

$x = 111 + 173.22

$x = $284.22

The amount of money Jason deposited is $284.22
