Tammy accidentally wrote a check for more money than she had in her checking account. When she got her statement, she saw that her balance was . If she deposits of the money owed into her account, what will be her new balance?

To find Tammy's new balance, we need to calculate how much she was overdrawn by and then subtract the deposit she made.

Let's calculate the overdrawn amount first. If Tammy's balance was -$96 before the deposit, this means she was overdrawn by $96.

If she deposits $24 of the money owed into her account, we need to subtract this deposit from the overdrawn amount.

$96 - $24 = $72

Tammy's new balance after the deposit will be -$72, which is option D. -$72.

thats not an answer

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the correct new balance:

If Tammy's balance was -$96 and she deposits $24, we need to add the deposit to her balance:

-$96 + $24 = -$72

Tammy's new balance will be -$72, not -$96, as she has deposited $24.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. -$72
