To find Jim's bank balance at the end of the month, we need to subtract the amount of the checks he wrote and add the amount of the deposits he made to his beginning bank balance.

1. Begin with Jim's beginning bank balance: $275.38
2. Subtract the amount of the first check he wrote: $275.38 - $174.89 = $100.49
3. Subtract the amount of the second check he wrote: $100.49 - $68 = $32.49
4. Subtract the amount of the third check he wrote: $32.49 - $57.76 = -$25.27 (negative balance)
5. Add the amount of the first deposit he made: -$25.27 + $250 = $224.73
6. Add the amount of the second deposit he made: $224.73 + $350 = $574.73

Therefore, Jim's bank balance at the end of the month is $574.73.
