Answer:

$342.47

Explanation:

Gerald currently has -45.72 dollars.

If he gives writes a check to someone else, you lose money. Since he wrote a check for $32.80, subtract 32.8 from -45.72.

After writing the check, Gerald has -78.52 dollars. If you receive a paycheck and deposit it into your bank account, you add money. Add 420.99 to -78.52.

$342.47
