Question

Dale has written too many checks and his bank balance is –42.68. The bank will charge him an overdraft fee of $25. How much does he need to deposit so that his bank balance will be $50?

Answer 1

$117.68

Explanation:

You have to add them all together, because if he has a negative amount, he first needs to get that to 0. He then pays the overdraft fee, keeping him at 0. Lastly, he pays $50 to put it into his account. Good luck!
