Tammy accidentally wrote a check for more money than she had in her checking account. When she got her statement, she saw that her balance was -$48. If she deposits 1/3 of the money owed into her account, what will be her new balance?
A.
-$64
B.
$16
C.
-$32
D.
-$16
To find Tammy's new balance, we need to determine 1/3 of the money owed, which is -48/3 = -16.
Then we need to add this amount to her balance of -48, -48 + (-16) = -64.
Therefore, Tammy's new balance will be -$64.
The answer is option A. -$64.
