Question

Josie has $47 left on her checking account. If she writes a check for $55, what will Josie's balance be?

Answer 1

If Josie has $47 left on her checking account, and she writes a check for $55 , then she takes out money from her account and ends up losing money. Thus, subtract $55 from $47 . ∴ , Josie's balance will be $−8 or $8 in debt.
