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

Start with $90. Subtract $60 (cable): 90 − 60 = 30. Add $50 (deposit): 30 + 50 = 80. Subtract $65 (credit card): 80 − 65 = 15.

Tessa's account balance is $15.
