Jed's bank account balance yesterday = -$26.34
Jed's account balance now = $42.18
So Jed's balance has recovered from a negative balance to a positive balance. Now it is required to find the amount of money jed deposited to reach this state.
Let us assume that money deposited by Jed = X
Then
X -26.34 = 42.18
X = 42.18 + 26.34
= 68.52
So Jed deposited $68.52 in his account.
