Question

Your bank account balance is $10.50. After work, you deposit $25. Then you go shopping and buy a pair of shoes for $45. What will your account balance be after you finish shopping?

Answer 1

Answer:

Account balance after shopping will be $- 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Your bank account balance is $10.50. After work, you deposit $25. This means that the new account balance is the sum of the initial account balance + the amount deposited after work.

New account balance = $10.50 + $25 = $35.5

Then you go shopping and buy a pair of shoes for $45. The amount that would be left in the account is the new amount in the account as previously calculated - the amount spent on shopping.

Account balance after shopping =

35.5 - 45 = $- 9.5

Answer 2

- $9.50. Basically your 9.50 in debt
