Question

On Monday morning, Raj had $225 in his checking account. The table shows activity in the account for the next four days. What was the balance in Raj’s checking account on Friday?

Answer 1

225-27.25= 197.75

197.75+75.50= 273.50

273.25+61.95=335.2-32.19=303.01

303.01+14.21=317.22

(317.22) should be your final balance after deposits and withdrawals

Answer 2

$229.28

Explanation:

We have the fact that Raj starts with $225 dollars in his checking account on Monday, throughout the week, he deposited and withdrawaled money. All we must do is add the amount he deposited and subtract the amount he withdrawals.

He starts with $225.

He withdrawals $27.25 on Monday,

225 - 27.25

197.75

He now has $197.75 in his account, we then he says he adds $75.50 to his account :

197.75 + 75.50

273.25

He now has $273.25 in his account, we then see he adds $32.19 and then subtracts $61.95 :

273.25 + 32.19

305.44

305.44 - 61.95

243.49

He now had $243.49 in his account, we then see he subtracts $14.21 :

243.49 - 14.21

229.28

Therefore Raj has $229.28 in his account by Friday.
