To determine how much money Danielle has in her account at the end of the week, we need to account for all her transactions starting with the initial amount of $127.02.

  1. Initial Amount: $127.02

  2. Transactions:

    • Birthday check: + $75.00 (Credit)
    • Night out: - $66.14 (Debit)
    • Garage sale proceeds: + $121.58 (Credit)
    • Charitable donation: - $42.25 (Debit)
    • Doctor’s appointment: - $115.30 (Debit)

Now, let's calculate the total credits and debits:

Total Credits:

  • Birthday check: $75.00
  • Garage sale proceeds: $121.58

Total Credits = $75.00 + $121.58 = $196.58

Total Debits:

  • Night out: $66.14
  • Charitable donation: $42.25
  • Doctor’s appointment: $115.30

Total Debits = $66.14 + $42.25 + $115.30 = $223.69

Now, we can calculate the ending balance:

Ending Balance = Initial Amount + Total Credits - Total Debits

Ending Balance = $127.02 + $196.58 - $223.69

Ending Balance = $127.02 + $196.58 = $323.60

Now subtract the total debits:

Ending Balance = $323.60 - $223.69 = $99.91

Thus, at the end of the week, Danielle has $99.91 in her account.

The correct answer is a. $99.91.
