Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if Dillard will benefit from changing to a checking account that charges $17.50 with no per check fee, we first need to calculate how much he currently spends.

Since Dillard write 18 checks per month, we need to multiply that by $0.24 and add the total value to his current monthly service fee.

18 x 0.24 = $4.5

Now that we know how much he spends for all the 18 check a month we just add his monthly service fee to get his total amount.

$4.5 + $13.25 = $17.75

The other checking account charges $17.50 per month without a service fee, therefore:

$17.75 > $17.50

So Dillard with benefit from changing his checking account.
