Question

Jasper withdrew $45.00 from her savings account. She then used her debit card to buy groceries for $30.15, and then deposited a check for $14.65. What was the total amount of change in Jasper’s account?

Answer 1

A money decrease of $60.50 (or -60.50 increase and change)

Explanation:

? - 45 - 30.15 + 14.65 = -60.50

Since we are finding the change it is best to replace the question mark with 0 so that it is easier to solve.

0 - 45 = -45

-45 - 30.15 = -75.25

-75.25 + 14.65 = -60.50

Answer 2

The total amount of change in Jaspers account is 29.5
