sue has a balance of $35 in her checking account. she writes one check for $10, and three checks for $9 each. what is her balance now? a) $18 b) -$2 c) -$11 d) $54

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total amount of checks written

The amount of one - $10 check and three - $9 checks is $10+3\times9$. $10 + 3\times9=10 + 27=37$.

Step2: Calculate new balance

The initial balance is $35$, and the total amount of checks written is $37$. The new balance is $35-37$. $35-37=- 2$.

Answer:

B. -$2
