Question

Libby receives pay of $734 which she deposits in her cheque account. She then writes out cheques for $558 and $453. If her account Is now $78 overdrawn what was her cheque account balance before she received her pay?

Answer 1

Answer: $355

Explanation:

First, find the total of cheques she writes out by taking 558 + 453 = $1011

Then add 78 to it because she is overdrawn by $78 at the end, so we now have $ 1089.

Then we take 1089 - 734 = $355

So, her cheque account balance before she received her pay was $355
