Answer 2

Answer: B) $878.28

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts off $16.75 in debt

Later on she deposits $16.75 to get completely out of debt and make the balance 0. This is after depositing the $5.72

So far her balance is $5.72

Add on $872.56 to get 5.72+872.56 = 878.28

This is what your steps may look like

-16.75 + (5.72 + 16.75)

-16.75 + (16.75 + 5.72)

(-16.75+16.75) + 5.72

(0) + 5.72

5.72

5.72+872.56

878.28
