Question 18 • (2026-2027) Monyok -- Art I -- 1st nine weeks

Dominic is looking over his spending pattern for the past week to try to determine how much money he had on Sunday. This is Dominic’s spending pattern:DayDebit ($)Credit ($)Monday158---Tuesday6944Wednesday175---Thursday13138Friday---53Saturday2214If the bank charges Dominic an overdraft fee of $25 every time he overdraws his account, and Dominic overdrew his account on Thursday but not on Saturday, which of the following is a possible amount of money that Dominic could have had in his account last Sunday? Assume that the only debits and credits not listed are overdraft fees.

Answer
A
$500
B
$480
C
$435
D
$400

Explanation

The listed transactions change Dominic’s balance by a total of $431 from Sunday through Saturday: debits total $655 and credits total $149, plus the $25 Thursday overdraft fee. If he started with $435, his balance after Wednesday would be $77; Thursday’s net spending of $93 would put him at −$16, so the overdraft fee applies. Friday and Saturday together add $45, leaving $4 after Saturday, so he does not overdraw that day. Thus, $435 is possible.
