Your program receives in input a list of transactions, like:
+1122.85 $
-10.69 $
-21.79 $
+12.08 $
You have to count how much transactions start with "1", "2", ...

9: 4.6%
An account is considered regular if the account starting numbers percentage follow these percentages, with a margin of 10 percent. Which means that you may find:
transactions starting with 1: 30.1%, so between 20.1% and 40.1%
transactions starting with 2: 17.6%, so between 7.6% and 27.6%
...
If at least one of these percentage is outside the expected range, the account is considered as fraudulent, you must then output "
