Question

Ernesto writes a check for $25.95. The next day he deposits $50.00 in his account. What is thr increase or decrease of his account balance?

Answer 1

The increase of his account balance is 24.05

Explanation:

Let's say Ernesto had nothing in his account.

0 - 25.95 = -25.95

And then, he deposits, meaning he added more to his account.

So,

-25.95 + 50.00 = 24.05
