Question

Mrs. Jackson had a balance of $458.95 in her checking account. She wrote a check for $59.70, and deposited a check for $150.00. The bank deducted a $2.50 service fee. What is her balance now? * 20 points $720.65 $695.65 $671.15 $546.75

Answer 1

Start = 458.95

Writing a check you subtract the amount:

458.95 - 59.70 = 399.25

Deposit you add the amount:

399.25 + 150.00 = 549.25

Service fee is a deduction so subtract the amount:

549.25 - 2.50 = 546.75

Balance = $546.75
