Answer 1

The first thing we are going to do is take out the account of the amount of money that goes into the bank account:
34.98
51.02
51.22
Total income = 137.22 $
Now, let's find the amount of expenses:
3.23
4.22
9.79
Total expenses = $ 17.24
The balance at the end of the month is:
Initial amount + total income-total expenses
Substituting:
98 + 137.22-17.24 = 217.98 $
Answer:
his balance at the end of the month after all of his deposits and withdrawals is:
$ 217.98
