If her balance is below 10, Chris must pay a few.

b = balance

Her balance was - $3.46. Then, Chris made a deposit, d, in ample time, so she did not have to pay a fee.

b + d > 10

b = - 3.46

Inequality: - 3.46 + d > 10

d > 10 - - 3.46

Solved: d > 13.46Meaning: The amount that Chris deposits has to increase her balance, so that it's not less than $10.
