According to the problem, she uses such an ATM <strong>twice a week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate how much she pays <strong>per week<\/strong>: 2&nbsp;uses\/week\u00d7$2.25\/use=$4.50\/week2 \\text{ uses\/week} \\times \\$2.25\/\\text{use} = \\$4.50\/\\text{week}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, there are <strong>52 weeks<\/strong> in a year. To find out how much she pays in a <strong>year<\/strong>, multiply the weekly cost by the number of weeks in a year: $4.50\/week\u00d752&nbsp;weeks\/year=$234.00\/year\\$4.50\/\\text{week} \\times 52 \\text{ weeks\/year} = \\$234.00\/\\text{year}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>Faye pays $234.00 every year<\/strong> in service fees for using out-of-network ATMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why this matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Small fees that occur frequently can add up to a <strong>large yearly cost<\/strong>, often without the person realizing it. Faye might think that $2.25 isn&#8217;t much, but using an out-of-network ATM <strong>twice a week for an entire year<\/strong> quietly drains $234 from her account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This scenario shows the importance of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Budget awareness:<\/strong> Tracking even small expenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smart banking choices:<\/strong> Finding ways to avoid unnecessary fees, such as using only in-network ATMs or switching to a bank that reimburses ATM fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Faye switched to using <strong>in-network ATMs<\/strong> or withdrew more money less often, she could potentially <strong>save $234 annually<\/strong> \u2014 enough to cover a utility bill, groceries, or a savings goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, small, regular expenses like ATM fees can add up over time.
