Tim had $52 in his checking account. He wrote a check for $55 and then made a deposit of $10. How much was in his account?
52 + 10 - 55 = ?
So the answer is $7 ?
Yes.
To find out how much was in Tim's account after the check and the deposit, we need to perform some basic arithmetic operations.
We start with the initial balance in Tim's account, which is $52. He then wrote a check for $55, which means he spent $55 from his account. To calculate the new balance, we subtract the amount of the check from the initial balance: $52 - $55 = -$3.
Since the result of the subtraction is negative, it means Tim's account has a negative balance of $3. This means he overdrew from his account by $3.
After that, Tim made a deposit of $10 into his account. To find out the final balance, we need to add the deposit to the current balance: -$3 + $10 = $7.
So, the final balance in Tim's account is $7.
