Question

Liz needs to keep no less than $500 in her checking account to avoid fees. She had $524.75 before writing a check for $65.99. How much does she need to deposit into her account to avoid a fee?

Answer 1

Answer: $41.24

Step-by-step explanation: In order to figure out how much she is away from 500 we need to first subtract the 65.99.

524.75 - 65.99 = 458.76

Then find the difference from 500 by subtracting again.

500 - 458.76 = 41.24

41.24 is the amount she needs to deposit in order to avoid a fee.
