Question

On March 1st Kendra’s checking account had a balance of $325.31. She wrote a check for $24.85, withdrew $40 from the ATM, and deposited $15. What was Kendra’s balance after these transactions?

Answer 1

First, subtract the amount of the check she wrote:

$325.31 - $24.85 = $300.46

Next, subtract the amount she withdrew from the ATM:

$300.46 - $40 = $260.46

Finally, add the amount she deposited:

$260.46 + $15 = $275.46

Kendra's balance after these transactions is $275.46.
