Lexi runs the snack stand at Belleview Community Pool. This morning, she withdrew $150 from the stand's bank account to buy supplies. When the stand closed this evening, she deposited $437 from the day's sales.

Question

What was the total change in the stand's bank account relative to where it started?

Answer 1

To determine the total change in the stand's bank account, we need to consider both the amount withdrawn and the amount deposited.

1. Lexi withdrew $150 from the account, which is a negative change: $$-150$$

2. Lexi deposited $437 into the account, which is a positive change: $$+437$$

Now, we combine these two amounts to find the total change: $$\text{Total Change}=-150+437$$

Calculating that gives: $$-150+437=287$$

Thus, the total change in the stand's bank account relative to where it started is $\boxed{{\displaystyle 287}}$ dollars.
