Question

Alexander has $950 in his checking account. He just wrote a check in

the amount of $650 to pay his rent. He also wrote a check for $55 to
cover his Comcast bill. Later today, he will deposit a birthday check
from his mom in the amount of $75. He paid $8.00 in cash for his
lunch. What will Alexander's checking account balance be at the
end of the day?

Answer 1

$320.

Explanation:

That would be

950 - (650 + 55 ) + 75

= 950 + 75 - 705

= 1025 - 705

= $320.

Answer 2

$320

Explanation:

Since the question is regarding his check account, do not include the cash of $8.

Add deposits to initial balance and subtract withdrawals.

`950 + 75 - (650 + 55)`
