Carlos Martin received a statement from his bank showing a balance of $56.75 as of March 15th. His checkbook shows a balance of $87.37 as of March 20. The bank returned all the cancelled checks but two. One check was for $5.00 and the other was for $13.25. How much did Carlos deposit in his account between the March 15 and the March 20?

Assume the bank statement was correct, and the checkbook balance was also correct. We can continue the statement as follows:

date deposit/cheque (+/-) Balance
March 15 - 56.75
?? -5.00 (check) 51.75
?? -13.25 (check) 38.50
?? Deposit (Amount?) 87.37

Thus deposit required to change the balance from 38.50 to 87.37 would be
87.37-38.50=48.87
