Her share would be $305.22. Can Sue afford this?

Answer
A
Yes, she can make the purchase and have money left over.
B
Yes, but doing so will clear out her account.
C
No, making that purchase will overdraw her account.
D
No, she is overdrawn already.

Explanation

Sue spends $618.60 on the listed transactions: $353.76 + $32.79 + $60.26 + $55.62 + $80.40 + $35.77. That leaves $899.83 − $618.60 = $281.23, which is $23.99 less than her $305.22 share of the TV, so buying it would overdraw her account. The correct choice is C, “No, making that purchase will overdraw her account.”
