Beth's bank charges a service fee on a regular checking account for each month in which the balance on the account falls below $100 at any time during the month. Did the bank charge a service fee on Beth's regular checking account last month?

(1) During last month, a total of $1,000 was withdrawn from Beth's regular checking account.

(2) At the beginning of last month, Beth's regular checking account balance was $500

Balance<100-->Service fee charged?

Is the last month balance<100?

stmt1,

No info about balance.

Insuff

stmt2,

we dont know about balance at the end of the month.

Combining 1 and 2,

Total=500+x

1000 was withdrawn-->x+500-1000=x-500

Balance=x-500

Still we don't know the remaining balance.
