During one week, Sheila made several changes to her bank account. She made 4 withdrawals of $40 each from an ATM. She also used her check card for a $156 purchase. She then deposited her paycheck of $375. By how much did the amount in her bank account change during the week?

Answer 1

In total, Sheila made withdrawals of $40 x 4 = $160.

Sheila made a $156 purchase.

Sheila deposited $375.

The total change in her bank account during the week is $375 (deposit) - $160 (withdrawals) - $156 (purchase) = $375 - $160 - $156 = $59.

Therefore, the amount in her bank account changed by $59 during the week.

Answer 2

was the 59 a increase or decrease?
