In reality, Banks do not charge customers a fee for having zero dollars on your account. You only get a overdraft fee if you do not have enough money to cover the charge. So if you have zero dollars or five dollars and you have a outstanding charge that amounts to $10 then you would be charged an overdraft fee. An overdraft fee is per transaction that is charged on the account that the account does not have enough money to cover. Now, hypothetically this question is correct. Then the answer to the question above is he would have to put $27.85 because the outstanding charge is the $20 fee and the $7.85. If Travis does not put the entire $27.85 or more then the bank would charge an additional overdraft fee. But just to reiterate, this question is not realistic because banks do not charge you a fee for not having money on your account unless a charge is being made and your bank account does not have enough money to cover the charge.

Answer:

$27.85

Explanation:

I think what it means by outstanding charge is that there is something else he also needs to pay that he hasn't input yet. So, going off of that logic,

20+7.85 = 27.85, to find the amount he should pay for both charges to not create another bank fee.
