Answer 1

Answer:

The new statues of his account was - $167

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- John's bank account was overdrawn

- The status of his account was - $114

- He wrote another check for  $35

- The bank charged him a $18 fee for being overdrawn

- Overdrawn means the account has negative amount

∵ His status was - 114 dollars

∵ He wrote check of 35 dollars

- That means someone took from his account 35 dollars

∴ John's account has -35 dollars add to -114 dollars

∵ The bank charged him 18 dollars for being overdrawn

- That means John must pay 18 dollars to the bank

∴ John's account has -18 dollars add to -35 dollars and -114 dollars

∵ The new statue of John's account is the sum of all

∴ The new status = (-114) + (-35) + (-18) = -167 dollars

* The new statues of his account was - $167
