Question

Last week, Lamar had $983.45 in his checking account. Since then, he paid $214.67 for his car loan. He also donated $15 to the fire department. Then, Lamar deposited the $50 check his grandma sent him for his birthday. What is Lamar's balance now?

Answer 1

$803.78

You would subtract the car loan(214.67) from 983.45. then subtract another 15 since he is giving it away. You then add the $50 because you deposited it meaning you are getting money back into your acount.

Answer 2

983.45-214.67=768.78

768.78-15=753.78

753.78+50=803.78

answer is 803.78
