Question

I need help on pre-algebra math homework, please

John's bank account was overdrawn. The status of his account was $-164. He did not realize the problem and wrote another check for $66. The bank charged him a $24 fee for being overdrawn.

What was the new status of John's account at this point?

Answer 1

Answer:

$-254

Step-by-step explanation:

You add $66 and $24 which gets you 90. Why are you adding them? Because he wrote a check, and for that the bank charged him. Then add it to a positive $164 to get $254. Trust me it will be easier. After, just turn it into a negative number and you have $-254.
