Question

Jane has a checkbook balance of $68.00. She then writes two checks, one for $5.00 and one for $62.50. She also deposits $75.00. She then uses her calculator to determine her new balance. Which of the following is the correct series of keys she should press?

A. 6 8 + 7 5 – 5 – 6 2 . 5 0
B. 6 8 + 7 5 – 6 2 5 0 – 5 =
C. ON/C 6 8 – 5 – 6 2 . 5 0 + 7 5 =
D. ON/C 6 8 + 7 5 = 5 = 6 2 . 5 0

Answer 1

The answer here would be C. ON/C 6 8 – 5 – 6 2 . 5 0 + 7 5 =

Following her keypresses, she has to turn the calculator on by pressing "ON/C". Entering her current balance, she presses 6 then 8, subtracting her 2 checks by entering "-" then 5, and again for 62.50. Lastly, she adds the amount deposited which is 75. Pressing the "=" sign then tells her how much her new balance is.
