Tessa had 90 in her checking account. She paid her cable/internet bill for 75. She deposited 50 from her part-time job before writing a check for 80 to pay her credit card bill. What is Tessa's account balance?

Question

A) -115 dollars
B)145 dollars
C) 295 dollars
D)-15 dollars

Answer 1

To find out Tessa's account balance, we need to subtract the total amount she spent from the total amount she deposited into her account.

The total amount Tessa spent is $75 (cable/internet bill) + $80 (credit card bill) = $155.

The total amount Tessa deposited is $50.

To find the account balance, we subtract the total amount spent from the total amount deposited: $50 - $155 = -$105.

Therefore, Tessa's account balance is -$105 or -105 dollars.

The correct answer is:
D) -15 dollars
