Answer:

$64.67

Explanation:

Expenses: 12.57 + 24.95 + 36.86 + (3×0.15)

Expenses: $74.83

Balance = 139.5 - 74.83

Balance: $64.67

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

First determine how much is subtracted from the account

12.57+24.95+36.86 =74.38

They charge .15 per check=3*.15 = .45

Subtract the amounts of the checks and the check fees

139.50-74.38-.45 =64.67
