Mark had a balance of −$11 in his checking account. The bank charged a $25 fee. What is the balance in the account?

Question

The balance in the account is $__

Answer 1

To find the new balance in Mark's checking account after the bank charged a $25 fee, you start with his existing balance of -$11 and subtract the fee.

\[ \text{New balance} = -11 - 25 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ -11 - 25 = -36 \]

So, the balance in the account is \(-$36\).

The final answer is: The balance in the account is \(-36\).
