Hazel had $59.50 in her bank account. She made a purchase at a clothing store and received an email that her account had been charged a $15.00 overdraft fee and that her current account balance was negative $37.25. How much did Hazel spend at the clothing store?

Respuesta :

To find out how much Hazel spent at the clothing store, we can calculate the difference between her initial balance and her current balance, including the overdraft fee.

Initial balance + Clothing store purchase - Overdraft fee = Current balance

Let x be the amount spent at the clothing store.

$59.50 (initial balance) + x (clothing store purchase) - $15.00 (overdraft fee) = -$37.25 (current balance)

Now, let's solve for x:

$59.50 + x - $15.00 = -$37.25

Combine like terms:

$x = (-$37.25 + $15.00) - $59.50$

$x = -$22.25 - $59.50$

$x = -$81.75$

Hazel spent $81.75 at the clothing store.
