Assume the bank statement was correct, and the checkbook balance was also correct. We can continue the statement as follows:

date deposit/cheque (+/-) Balance
March 15 - 56.75
?? -5.00 (check) 51.75
?? -13.25 (check) 38.50
?? Deposit (Amount?) 87.37

Thus deposit required to change the balance from 38.50 to 87.37 would be
87.37-38.50=48.87
