Answer: $59 increase

Step-by-step explanation: since we don't know how much she had in her bank account prior to making 4 withdrawals it's hard to find the answer so a like and rating would be appreciated. We know she withdrew $40 dollars 4 times which would mean she withdrew $160 dollars, then she used her card for a $156 dollar purchase, so if we add $160 and $156 dollars we get $316 dollars spent. Then she deposited a check of $375 dollars into the bank account so we have to subtract $316 from $375 dollars to get $59 dollars, now since we subtracted and we are left with an extra amount rather than the money wasted we started with it means it's an increase as we are left with $59 and not with a price lower than $316.
