A bank customer has reached the limit of his free monthly transactions and will now be charged $1.00 for each additional transaction. If he buys groceries for $130.71, gas for $54.17, and two movie tickets for $23.00 on his bank card, what will the total deducted from his account be?
a. $209.43
c. $210.88
b. $215.44
d. $221.99
The total deducted from his account will be equal to the sum of his purchases plus the additional charges for exceeding the free transactions limit.
Groceries: $130.71
Gas: $54.17
Movie tickets: $23.00
Total of purchases: 130.71 + 54.17 + 23.00 = $207.88
He will be charged for two additional transactions (gas and movie tickets). Since each additional transaction costs $1.00, he will be charged: 2 * $1.00 = $2.00
Therefore, the total deducted from his account will be: $207.88 + $2.00 = $209.88
The correct option is a. $209.88
