Final answer:

After subtracting payments and adding deposits to the initial balance, the new checking account balance would be $435.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new checking account balance, you must subtract the amounts of the checks and debit card purchases from the starting balance, and then add any deposits. Here is a step-by-step calculation:

  1. Start with the initial balance: $345
  2. Subtract the internet service check of $94: $345 - $94 = $251
  3. Subtract the grocery store purchase of $59: $251 - $59 = $192
  4. Subtract the credit card payment transfer of $84: $192 - $84 = $108
  5. Add the electronic deposit from work of $327: $108 + $327 = $435

After these transactions, the new checking account balance would be $435.
