Question

Problem:Broderick had 420 in his checking account. He made 6 deposits of 35.50 each and he needs to write 4 checks for 310.75 each.

Question: I need to know an INTEGER to represent the total deposits Broderick made and another integer to represent Broderick needs from his checking account to cover the checks?

Answer 1

Broderick made 6 deposits of 35.50 each. Then total deposits are: 6*$35.50= $213

He needs to write 4 checks for 310.75 each. Then total checks are: 4* $310.75- $1243

To cover the checks, Broderick will need to add: $1243- ($420 + $213)= $610
