Explanation:

Given : Ellen Saver went to her bank. She had a balance of $2,447.67 in her savings account. She withdrew $231.49 and the teller credited her account with $36.61.

We have to determine the new account balance.

Since inital balance is $ 2,447.67

ans she withdraw $ 231.49 that is taken ouu so we subtract from inital balance.

thus, balance after withdraw is (2447.67 - 231.49) = $ 2216.18

Now, the teller credited the account with $ 36.61 that is $ 36.61 is added to the account.

So, new balance after credit $ 36.61 is $(2216.18 + 36.61) = $ 2252.79

Thus, the new balance of her saving account is $ 2252.79
