Say you are working at a store and you are given 180 boxes of poptarts to stack on the shelf. You take a break while stacking and noticed you have already stacked 45 boxes. You want to know what percent of boxes you have already stacked. You would divide part over whole where as in this situation is 45/180. This would give you 0.25 and you would then covert this to a percentage which would be 25%. Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you have any questions.

This means that you have arranged an overdraft loan/agreement with the bank. The bank will go ahead and pay the fund to the person or company you wrote the check to. You will have a certain amount of time to put the money back into your account and pay the overdraft fee. Many banks will give you 24 hours to cover the check before they charge you a fee. The fee is usually around $25 dollars, but could be more depending on your bank rules.
