ok so I know for sure its not c or d as the bank has the correct amount it was incorrect in the checkbook but im not sure if it should be deducted or added back. I think its added but Im not quite sure.

Answer 1

I don't think any of the choices is correct.

There are two ways to correct this in the checkbook.
1. Deduct the $1250 and then add $1200
2. Deduct $50.

Answer 2

Yeah I know that's why Im confused.....I know how to use and balance a checkbook but these are the only choices they gave me.
