Answer 1

425.69+298.72=724.41

29.72+135.47+208.28=373.47

Answer 2

Option C. $345.94

Explanation:

The balance of your bank account at the beginning of the week = $298.72

You made a deposit of $425.69, now your balance would be

= $298.72 + $425.69 = $724.41

You also made purchases of 29.72, $135.47 and 208.28

Total purchase = 29.72 + 135.47 + 208.28 = $373.47

Now your balance would be = $724.41 - $373.47 = $350.94

The bank deducted service charge = $5.00

Now at the end of the week the balance = 350.94 - 5.00 = $345.94

Option C. $345.94 is the answer.
