Penelope’s account balance after she pays her bills and makes the deposit is

Answer 1

1,459.75 - 200.25 - 359.45 - 125.00 - 299.35 = 475.70

475.70 + 375.00 = 850.70

Her account balance after the bills and deposit is $850.70

Answer 2

Penelope's account balance at the end is $850.70.

Explanation:

Penelope has $1,459.75 in her bank account.

To pay her bills, she writes 4 checks for $200.25, $359.45, $125, and $299.35.

Adding all these we get -

`200.25+359.45+125+299.35=984.05`

After all the bills her balance left =
`1459.75-984.05=475.70` dollars

Now, she deposits $375 into her account.

So, her new balance will be =
`475.70+375=850.70` dollars.

Therefore, Penelope's account balance at the end is $850.70.
