When you deposit something into your account, you ADD it. I didn't want to give you the answer, so try that. :)

what sorry did not undersand that

All you have to do is this:

-94.40 + 344.60

You have the starting negative balance (-94.40) plus the deposit (344.60).

she deposited 344.60
but his account had a balance of 94.40
so as soon as he put money in his account, the bank removed 94.40
so
344.60-94.40
