Answer 1

Yes your answer is correct. Good job:)

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, Her balance C=$396.5.

Explanation:

From the given table, the balance amount on 2nd September = $920

On 5th September (9/5/06), Elizabeth deposit amount = $65.00

On 12th September (9/12/06), Elizabeth deposit amount = $61.50

Deposit amount till 12th September=
`\$65+\$61.5=\$126.50`

Therefore, the balance amount on 12th September =
`\$920+\$126.20=\$1046.20`

On 12th September , Elizabeth withdrawal amount = $650.00

Therefore, the balance amount =
`C=\$1046.20-\$650.0=\$396.5`

Hence, B is the right answer.

Her balance C=$396.5.
