Brad's checking account starts off with a balance of $126.50. Throughout the week, Brad pays a bill for $87.21, and pays $5.64 for breakfast. He deposits $15.00 but then pays another bill for $55.25. At the end of the week, he gets a notice from the bank that he has a negative balance. How much does Brad need to deposit into his account to get to a $0 balance?

Answer:

$6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out what his balance is after those transactions.

Initial balance: 126.50

After bill:

126.50 - 87.21 = 39.29

After breakfast:

39.29 - 5.64 = 33.65

After deposit (we're adding money now!):

33.65 + 15 = 48.65

After 2nd bill:

48.65 - 55.25 = -6.6

We find that his balance is negative $6.6. Thus, to get to $0, he needs to deposit an additional $6.6.

Answer: $6.6
