Joe went to the bank and withdrew $358 from his checkings account and his balance is now at -$96. He later deposited ¾ of his $800 check and put the rest in his savings account. How much money does he have in his checking account?

$504

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case you're solving for his checking account. In the beginning due to him withdrawing $358 he was left with -$96, assuming that he grabbed more than he could take. But later, he deposited 3/4 of $800 into his checking account.

So you need to find what 3/4 of 800 is first to see how much money he put into his checking account

3/4x800/1=600

But thats not the answer since thats only how much he put into his checking account, not how much he has.

So according to the question he had -96 left in the checking account. Therefore, you have to add the 600 in.

600+-96=504

In case you are wondering why there was a lower number when adding, it was a negative number which causes you to start from -96, but go more right into the number line 600 times.

If you have any questions please ask and I hope this helped! :)
