Question

Tessa had $90
in her checking account. She paid her cable/internet bill for $60
. She deposited $50
from her part-time job before writing a check for $65
to pay her credit card bill. What is Tessa's account balance?

Answer 1

To find Tessa's account balance after the transactions, we can follow the calculations step by step.

1. **Starting balance:** $90

2. **Paying cable/internet bill:**
- Balance after payment: \( 90 - 60 = 30 \)

3. **Depositing from part-time job:**
- Balance after deposit: \( 30 + 50 = 80 \)

4. **Writing a check for credit card bill:**
- Balance after writing the check: \( 80 - 65 = 15 \)

So, Tessa's account balance is **$15**.
