Question

Melissa had a balance of $104 in her checking account at the beginning of the month. She made one additional deposit of $216 and wrote checks for $78, $119, and $105. What was the balance in her checking account at the end of the month?

Please help me!!

Answer 1

I got positive 18. Is that correct?

Answer 2

I believe the answer is 118. Maybe I could have calculated wrong... Sorry I'm just as confused.

Answer 3

To find Melissa's balance at the end of the month, we need to calculate the net change in her account.

Starting balance: $104
Additional deposit: + $216
Checks written: - $78 - $119 - $105

To calculate the balance:

1. Start with the initial balance: $104.
2. Add the additional deposit: $104 + $216 = $320.
3. Subtract the checks written: $320 - $78 - $119 - $105 = $320 - $302 = $18.

Therefore, the balance in Melissa's checking account at the end of the month is $18.
