To determine how much cash the person received, we can first calculate the subtotal of the deposit by summing up the amounts for cash and checks.
The cash amount is:
- Cash: $15.00
The total from the checks is:
- Check 1: $62.44
- Check 2: $27.83
- Check 3: $45.75
Let's calculate the sum of the checks:
\[ 62.44 + 27.83 + 45.75 = 136.02 \]
Now, we can calculate the subtotal by adding the cash amount and the total of the checks:
\[ Subtotal = Cash + Total of Checks = 15.00 + 136.02 = 151.02 \]
Next, we know that the total on the deposit slip is $62.23. The amount received as cash is found by subtracting this total from the subtotal:
\[ Cash Received = Subtotal - Total = 151.02 - 62.23 = 88.79 \]
So, the amount of cash that the person received is $88.79.
Therefore, the correct answer is: c. $88.79.
