Question

Tonya deposited one check for $56.93, a second check for

$761.29, and a third check into a savings account for her daughter. She also
deposited $75.00 in currency and $25.00 in coin. If she withdrew $150.00 in
cash and their total deposit was $1,785.23, what was the amount of her
third check?

Answer 1

The amount of the third check is $1017.01.
First you add the 1st and 2nd checks which gives you 56.93+761.29=818.22
Then you add 100 for the currency and coin and subtract 150 for the cash withdraw which gives you 918.22-150=768.22.
Then you subtract that from the total deposit which gives you $1,785.23-$768.22=$1,017.01
