Let's calculate the bank fees for you and your friend step by step.
### For You (Bank A):
- **Withdrawal Fees**: You withdrew money 14 times from an out-of-network ATM, and Bank A charges $2 per withdrawal.
- Withdrawal Fees = 14 withdrawals * $2 = $28
- **Monthly Service Fee**: The monthly service fee is $12, but since your withdrawals exceed $12, the service fee is waived.
- Total Fees = $28 (withdrawal fees) + $0 (waived service fee) = $28
### For Your Friend (Bank B):
- **Monthly Fee**: Bank B charges a flat monthly fee of $20.
- **Withdrawal Fees**: Your friend withdrew 22 times. The first 10 withdrawals are free, so the remaining withdrawals will incur a fee.
- Free Withdrawals = 10
- Paid Withdrawals = 22 - 10 = 12
- Since he has exceeded 10 withdrawals, he will pay a one-time fee of $5 after the 10th withdrawal.
- Total Fees = $20 (monthly fee) + $5 (for excess withdrawals) = $25
Now let's compare:
- You (Bank A) paid **$28** in fees.
- Your friend (Bank B) paid **$25** in fees.
Thus, the correct statement is:
**You paid $28 in bank fees. Your friend paid $25 in bank fees.**
### For You (Bank A):
- **Withdrawal Fees**: You withdrew money 14 times from an out-of-network ATM, and Bank A charges $2 per withdrawal.

- **Monthly Service Fee**: The monthly service fee is $12, but since your withdrawals exceed $12, the service fee is waived.
- Total Fees = $28 (withdrawal fees) + $0 (waived service fee) = $28
### For Your Friend (Bank B):
- **Monthly Fee**: Bank B charges a flat monthly fee of $20.
- **Withdrawal Fees**: Your friend withdrew 22 times. The first 10 withdrawals are free, so the remaining withdrawals will incur a fee.
- Free Withdrawals = 10
