**Monday:**

1. **Initial Balance on Friday:**
- Bailey's checking account balance = $615.80

2. **Deposits and Withdrawals on Saturday:**
- Deposited = $145
- Withdrawn = $87
- New balance after Saturday = $615.80 + $145 - $87
- New balance = $615.80 + $145 - $87 = $673.80

3. **Transfer on Sunday:**
- Transferred 40% of the balance to savings account = 0.40 * $673.80 = $269.52
- Remaining balance in checking account = $673.80 - $269.52
- Remaining balance = $673.80 - $269.52 = $404.28

**Bailey has $404.28 left in her checking account.**

**Tuesday:**

1. **Samantha's Purchases:**
- Let the price of each of the 3 items be \( p \).
- Total cost equation:
\[
3p + 6.40 = 19.00
\]
- Simplifying:
\[
3p = 19.00 - 6.40
\]
\[
3p = 12.60
\]
\[
p = 12.60 / 3 = 4.20
\]
- **Each of the 3 items costs $4.20.**

2. **Sophia's Plants:**
- \( 3(x + 4.50) = 28.50 \)
- Simplifying:
\[
3x + 13.50 = 28.50
\]
\[
3x = 28.50 - 13.50
\]
\[
3x = 15.00
\]
\[
x = 15.00 / 3 = 5.00
\]
- **The cost per plant is $5.00 (B).**

3. **Marcus's Notebooks:**
- \( 4(x + 2.75) = 22.00 \)
- Simplifying:
\[
4x + 11.00 = 22.00
\]
\[
4x = 22.00 - 11.00
\]
\[
4x = 11.00
\]
\[
x = 11.00 / 4 = 2.75
\]
- **The cost per notebook is $2.75 (A).**

**Summary:**
- Bailey has $404.28 left in her checking account.
- Each of the 3 items Samantha bought costs $4.20.
- The cost per plant for Sophia is $5.00 (B).
- The cost per notebook for Marcus is $2.75 (A).
