You have $6,500 to deposit. If you deposit the money in a savings account at your local bank, you will earn 1.45% annual interest and will be able to make ATM withdrawals at your bank's ATMs. If you deposit the money in an online savings account, you will earn 2.25% interest, but you will be charged $4 every time you make an ATM withdrawal. Assuming that your ATM withdrawals do not reduce the amount of interest you earn, how many ATM withdrawals must you make in a year for the local savings account to be a better deal than the online savings account?
