Answer 2

Answer: B. about $152

Explanation:

Given : Karita had $138.72 in her checking account .

i.e. Original amount in bank account=$138.72

She wrote checks for $45.23 and $18.00.

Thus, amount remains in her account=
`138.72-18-45.23`

`=138.72-(18+45.23)\\=138.72-(63.23)\\=75.49`

Therefore,amount remains in her account=$75.49

Now, she made a deposit for $75.85 into her account.

⇒Money in Karita's account=
`75.49+75.85=151.34\approx152`

∴The best estimate for money is in Karita's account=$152
