Asked by Jane-Ellen
Jean deposited a check for $625, wrote two for $68.74 and
$29.95 and used her debit card to pay for a purchase of $57.65. How has her
account balance changed?
I am a little lost, I understand the deposit BUT from what I understand she wrote 2 check in the amount of $68.74 each and then 2 checks for $29.95 and then used her debet card for $57.65?
Or was it just 2 checks all together 1 for $68.74 and 1 for $29.95 and then used her debet card for $57.65?
Unfortunately, from the way the problem is stated, it is not clear which applies. However, since it is very unlikely to have two different checks <I>both</I> duplicated in the <I>exact same amount</I>, I would favor your latter interpreation.
Even so, a suggestion would be to note the two different interpretations and solve for both.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
