Macy's starting balance in her checking account was $654.98. She wrote one check in the amount of $321.45 and made a

deposit that she forgot to write into her check register. At the end of the month, Macy's ending balance was $452.78. Find the
amount of the deposit.

$119.25
$114.38
$121.56
$116.74

Answer 1

$119.25.

Explanation:

Let's call the deposit amount "D".

Starting balance: $654.98

Check amount: -$321.45

Deposit: +D

Ending balance: $452.78

So, we can set up an equation:

$654.98 - $321.45 + D = $452.78

Solving for D:

$654.98 - $321.45 + D = $452.78

$333.53 + D = $452.78

D = $119.25

So the deposit amount was $119.25.
