Answer 1

The total amount the bank will withdraw from Marcia Richardson's account for writing 5 checks totaling $485.96, including service fees, is $486.71.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total amount that will be withdrawn from Marcia Richardson's bank account if she writes 5 checks. This amount includes both the value of the checks and the service charge fee that the bank applies for each check written.

To find this amount, we perform the following calculation:

1. Multiply the number of checks by the service charge fee per check: 5 checks × $0.15/check = $0.75.
2. Add this total service charge to the total amount of the checks: $485.96 + $0.75 = $486.71.

Therefore, the bank will withdraw a total of $486.71 from Marcia Richardson's account when she writes 5 checks totaling $485.96.
