So, after all that, he owes the company $128
To find out how much Kyle owes the credit card company, we will need to subtract the payments he made from the original bill.
Starting with the original bill of $455, Kyle sends a check for $83, so we subtract $83 from $455:
$455 - $83 = $372
Next, Kyle charges another $107 in merchandise, so we add this to the remaining balance:
$372 + $107 = $479
Lastly, Kyle pays off another $348 of the bill, so we subtract this payment from the previous balance:
$479 - $348 = $131
Therefore, Kyle owes the credit card company $131.
