Question

Michael's checking account balance was $345. Michael withdrew $160 three times. What is his balance now?

Answer 1

The answer is -135

Explanation:

We can do 160 times 3 which is 480 for the 3 times he withdrew $160 from his total. (Withdraw means taking, so subtraction).

Then, we do 480 minus 354 which is -135.

Answer 2

345-(160*3)= -135



Michael has negative 135 dollars in his account.
