Question

your bank account balance was 235.24 after two checks were cashed each for the same amount your balance is now -45.58 what was the amount of each of those checks?

Answer 1

280.82 is both of them together but each check would be 140.41

Answer 2

Divide the balance by 2. this gives you 117.62. Divide the overdraw by 2 giving you 22.79. Add 117.62 and 22.79 this gives you 140.41. now do the math.
235.24-140.41-140.41= -45.58. so each check was 140.41
