Answer 1

$63.05

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the final balance, we need to add or subtract each quantity depending on whether it is money that you receive or money that you spend.

So, we can represent each situation as:

You got $25 for your birthday: + $25

You spent $14.50 on clothes: - $14.50

You found $15 in your pants pocket: + $15

You spent $12.45 on lunch: - $12.45

You got a check for $50 for work: + $50

Then, the final balance is equal to:

$25 - $14.50 + $15 - $12.45 + $50 = $63.05

So, the answer is $63.05
