Question

2. Mike received a check for $215. He deposits all the money into his bank account and its new balance is $2,184. What was his balance before he made the deposit? a). $969 b). $1,869 c). $1,969 d). $2399

Answer 1

$1969 (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount deposited = $215

New balance = $2184

His previous balance before he made the deposit:

$2184 = previous balance + $215

previous balance = 2184 -215

previous balance = $1969

Therefore, his previous balance before he made the deposit is $1969 (option C)
