- $83

Step-by-step explanation

to know the current balance we need to doa addition

let the check or out of money represents negative numbers

let deposit represents positive numbers, so

initial:40

check:-63

deposits:80

check : -140

Now, add the values


\begin{gathered} \text{balance}=\text{ +40-63+80-140} \\ \text{balance}=\text{ }-83 \end{gathered}

so,the answer is

- $83

I hope this helps you
