287

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the initial money in the account be y.

Lexi withdrew $150 from the stand's bank account to buy supplies. This will be:

= y - $150

Later, she deposited $437 from the day's sales. The money in the account will now be:

= y - $150 + $437

= y + $287

The total change in the stand's bank account relative to where it started will be the initial amount + $287.
