You made 2 deposits to your bank account this month. 1 deposit was $17.92 and the 2nd was $15.33. Your balance at the end of the month is $72.31, and you made no withdrawals. What expression shows your balance at the beginning of the month?
My thoughts
ending balance = $72.31
1st deposit = $17.92 subtract
2nd deposit = $15.33 subtract
answer = $72.31 - $17.92 - $15.33
yes
Thank you
You are welcome :)
To find your balance at the beginning of the month, you need to subtract the total amount of your deposits from the ending balance.
The expression would be: Ending Balance - 1st Deposit - 2nd Deposit
So, the equation would be:
Beginning Balance = Ending Balance - 1st Deposit - 2nd Deposit
Plugging in the values:
Beginning Balance = $72.31 - $17.92 - $15.33
To find the exact amount, you would subtract $17.92 from $72.31 and then subtract $15.33 from the result.
