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 -68. If she deposits 1/4 of the money owed into her account, what will be her new balance?
Tammy owes -68 dollars because it says her balance was -68.
She needs to deposit $17 because 68 / 4 = <<68/4=17>>17
Her new balance will be -51 because -68 + 17 = <<-68+17=-51>>-51. Answer: \boxed{-51}.
