Question

Ben wrote a check for $52 that was more than his account balance. The bank charges $25 for bounced checks and the local business hat accepted his check charges $20 for bounced checks. How much in total would Ben have to pay for that one check? SHOW THE WORK!!!

Answer 1

$97

This is because he will owe the amount of the check $52, plus he will also owe the two fees which will total $45

Answer 2

We have to find about how much in total would Ben have to pay for that one check.

Given that Ben needed to pay some money by check of $52.

So the check amount = $52.

He has less balance than $52 in his bank. So as per check bounce penalty, Bank charged penalty of $25.

So the paid amount = amount + penalty = $52+$25 = $77

Now the local business accepted his check with charge of $20 so total payment = $77 + $20 = $97

Hence final answer is $97.
