Final answer:
Without seeing exactly how Alice Chino wrote the amount, we cannot confirm the correctness. The proper way to write $98.72 in words on a check is 'Ninety-eight dollars and 72/100'. The purpose of the check is likely for medical expenses but is not explicitly provided.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the student's question, we first need to know if Alice Chino did in fact write the amount of $98.72 in words correctly on check No. 311. The correct way to write this amount on a check is Ninety-eight dollars and 72/100. Without seeing the actual writing, we cannot confirm whether she wrote it correctly.
However, usually with check writing, the amount in words is written in this format to avoid any confusion or tampering. If it was not written this way, then the amount was not written correctly.
As for the purpose of the check to Pugh Health Clinic, we do not have enough information to know the exact reason. It is reasonable to assume the check could be for medical expenses, but without explicit details, we cannot ascertain the exact nature of the medical services provided. The possible purposes listed, such as medical consultation or medical expenses, are common reasons someone would write a check to a health clinic.
