Question

Carlos Martin received a statement from his bank showing a balance of $56.75 as of March 15. His checkbook shows a balance of $87.37 as of March 20. The bank returned all the cancelled checks but two. One check was for $5.00 and the other was for $13.25. How much did Carlos deposit in his account between March 15 and March 20?

Answer 1

answer is $22.37:
You subtract $56.75 from $87.37,which equals $30.62, then you add the 2 checks that the bank didn't return and subtract that amount from the $30.62.

Answer 2

Answer is 48.87

subtract the 87 and 56, then add the 13.25 and 5 to the 30.62. This is what I did. havent finished the test yet but I fairly sure its right. As the answer's I've found so far haven't been on the list :)
