When Nell goes to reconcile her bank statement, she will find the error will cause her to have $96.00 more than her true balance. Since she did not deduct the 48, but instead added 48, that equates to a 96 dollar mistake.

We know this because the difference from - 48 to 48 on a number line is 96 spaces.
