Tessa had 90 in her checking account. She paid her cable/internet bill for 75. She deposited 50 from her part-time job before writing a check for 80 to pay her credit card bill. What is Tessa's account balance?
A) -115 dollars
B)145 dollars
C) 295 dollars
D)-15 dollars
To find out Tessa's account balance, we need to subtract the total amount she spent from the total amount she deposited into her account.
The total amount Tessa spent is $75 (cable/internet bill) + $80 (credit card bill) = $155.
The total amount Tessa deposited is $50.
To find the account balance, we subtract the total amount spent from the total amount deposited: $50 - $155 = -$105.
Therefore, Tessa's account balance is -$105 or -105 dollars.
The correct answer is:
D) -15 dollars
