Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is: A) I and III

Step-by-step explanation:

George's bank statement balance is just $203.73, so some transactions are missing.

We must first find the difference between what George believes his balance should be and what the bank tells him: $221.57 - $203.73 = $17.84

There are three transactions that were possibly not recorded:

I) check to the florist (-$20.25)

II) check to dry cleaner (-$14.29)

III) deposit in transit (+$38.09)

Combination of I + III = $17.84

Combination of II + III = $23.80
