Question

At the beginning of the week, Jason's bank account balance was $-173.22. Trying to get out of his debt, Jason deposited money during the week. If his bank account is now $111, how much money did Jason deposit into his account?

Answer 1

Jason deposited $284.22 into his account

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of money deposited by Jason into his bank account that turned his balance from negative to surplus.

Let the amount deposited be $x.

Mathematically,

$-173.22 + $x = $111

$x = 111 + 173.22

$x = $284.22

The amount of money Jason deposited is $284.22
