Question

Ellen Saver went to her bank. She had a balance of $2,447.67 in her savings account. She withdrew $231.49 and the teller credited her account with $36.61. What is her new balance?

Answer 1

$2,447.67 - $231.49 = $2,216.18

$2,216.18 + $36.61 = $2,252.79

her new balance is $2,252.79

Answer 2

$2,252.79

Explanation:

To answer the question, we use the formula to calculate the balance:

Balance = initial balance - withdrawal + credited amount

Initial balance = $2,447.67

Withdrawal = $231.49

Credited amount = $33.61

Substituting the variables for their values, we have

Balance = $2,447.67 - $231.49 + $33.61

Balance = $2,252.79

In conclusion, Ellen's new balance in her bank account is $2,252.79
