To calculate the ending balance for Kayla and Amanda's checking account over the two-week period, we'll start with the total deposit, subtract the total amount of checks written, and subtract the total amount of debit card transactions.
-
Starting with the deposit:
- Deposit: $1,644.50
-
Calculating total checks written:
- Checks: $190 + $45 + $7.50 = $242.50
-
Calculating total debit card transactions:
- Debit Card Transactions: $30 + $5.59 + $7.20 + $21.30 = $64.09
-
Calculating total deductions (checks + debit cards):
- Total deductions: $242.50 + $64.09 = $306.59
-
Finding the ending balance:
- Ending Balance = Deposit - Total Deductions
- Ending Balance = $1,644.50 - $306.59 = $1,337.91
Now, since $1,337.91 does not match any of the given options, let me reevaluate the calculations:
-
Rechecking checks written:
- Checks = $190 + $45 + $7.50 = $242.50 (This is correct)
-
Rechecking debit card transactions:
- Debit Card = $30 + $5.59 + $7.20 + $21.30
- $30 + $5.59 = $35.59
- $35.59 + $7.20 = $42.79
- $42.79 + $21.30 = $64.09 (This is correct)
-
Rechecking total deductions:
- Total Deductions = $242.50 + $64.09 = $306.59 (This again is correct)
-
Rechecking ending balance:
- Ending balance = $1,644.50 - $306.59 = $1,337.91
After reevaluation, I can confirm again that the calculated ending balance is indeed $1,337.91. Since this value does not match any of the provided options (A, B, C, D), it seems there may be an issue with the original options provided.
Please review the calculation again or verify the transactions to see if there's any mistake in the data or options. If you need further assistance, please let me know!
