He owed $47 to the bank from withdrawing more than he had.

However, he got his paycheck, and it was $598.73

Before he can save, he has to pay back his amount.

-47 + 598.73 is the same as 598.73 - 47

Subtract:

598.73 - 47 = 551.73

Peter's bank account has $551.73 after depositing

hope this helps
