$307.40

Answer 1

The new balance in Sean's account is $203.65

Explanation:

The initial balance in Sean's account is $328.15. Then he writes checks for the amounts $20.75, $43.58, $30.45, and $29.72.

The sum of his checks is $20.75 + $43.58 + $30.45 + $29.72 = $124.5

The new balance in Sean's account is the initial balance minus the sum of the amounts of the checks he wrote:

Final balance = $328.15 - $124.5 = $203.65

The new balance in Sean's account is $203.65
