Question

Paul wrote a check to the dentist for $345.69. He’ll use the check register to record his transaction. What will be his new balance?

An account statement has a balance of 1,142 dollars. 15 dollars and 89 cents is debited for a grocery bill, and 75 dollars and 69 cents is debited for an electric bill.
$704.73
$720.62
$1,233.58
$1,579.27

Answer 1

Start with $1,142.00. Subtract the three debits:

15.89 + 75.69 + 345.69 = 437.27

1,142.00 − 437.27 = 704.73

Answer: $704.73
