Question

Ben's bank account was overdrawn by $10 when he deposited $50
into his account. What was his new balance?
(-10) + 50
50 + (-10) = $ _____
His new balance is $40.

Answer 1

To find Ben's new balance after the deposit:

1. His account was overdrawn by $10, which can be represented as \(-10\).
2. He then deposited $50 into his account.

The calculation can be set up as follows:

\[ -10 + 50 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ 50 - 10 = 40 \]

Therefore, Ben's new balance is \( $40 \).
