Question 660584
"Your bank account was overdrawn by $14"


means that you're $14 in the hole. So the balance is at -14 dollars.


"You then were charged a $35 overdraft fee"


means you're an additional $35 in the hole. So the balance is now at -14-35 = -49 dollars.


Let x = number of days the account is over drawn


If a $5 fee is applied each day the account is over drawn, then you're subtracting 5 dollars each day. So over the course of x days, you will have subtracted 5x dollars total.


So the final balance after x days is -49 - 5x


After 3 days, the final balance will be...


-49 - 5x


-49 - 5(3)


-49 - 15


-64


So after 3 days, the final balance will be -64 dollars.


Now add on the $256 from the check you deposit:  -64+256 = 192


Since $192 is larger than $52, this means you will have enough money to pay your $52 electric bill (assuming no other money is spent).
