Question

Will had $4355.19 in his checking account. He writes checks for $1,204.90 and $890.99. How much does Will have left in his account?

Answer 1

$2259.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Will have $4355.19

Check writes ($1204.90+$890.99)

= $2098.89

Will have left in his account ( $4355.19 - $2098.89)

= $2259.28 (ans.)

Answer 2

$2259.30

Explanation:

If will started with 4355.19$ in his checking account and wrote two checks, that mean he has taken money out of his account (subtraction operation). We can represent this with the expression:

4355.19 -1204.90 - 890.99

Using this expression, we can simplify to find the remainder of money Will has in his account once the two checks clear.

4355.19 - 1204.90 - 890.99

= 4355.19 - (1204.90 + 890.99)

= 4355.19 - (2095.89)

= 2259.30

So once the two checks Will wrote clears, he will have $2259.30 left in his checking account.

Cheers.
