A bank customer has reached the limit of his free monthly transactions and will now be charged $0.50 for each additional transaction. If he buys groceries for $138.88, gas for $52.69, and two movie tickets for $22.00 on his bank card, what will the total deducted from his account be?
$213.62
$215.07
$226.18
$219.63
The customer has made 3 additional transactions (groceries, gas, and movie tickets), so he will be charged 3 * $0.50 = $<<3*0.50=1.50>>1.50 in additional fees.
The total deducted from his account will be the sum of the three transactions and the additional fees: $138.88 + $52.69 + $22.00 + $1.50 = $<<138.88+52.69+22+1.50=215.07>>215.07.
Therefore, the answer is $215.07.
