b. 72.31-(17.92 - 15.33)
c. 72.31+ 17.92 + 15.33

betinning=end-alldeposits
To find the balance at the beginning of the month, we need to calculate the total amount of the deposits and subtract it from the ending balance.
First, let's find the total amount of the deposits:
Deposit 1: $17.92
Deposit 2: $15.33
Total deposits = $17.92 + $15.33
Now, let's calculate the balance at the beginning of the month by subtracting the total deposits from the ending balance:
Balance at the beginning of the month = Ending balance - Total deposits
Given that the ending balance is $72.31, the expression that represents the balance at the beginning of the month is:
d. 72.31 - 17.92 - 15.33
