Elmhurst Comics Store did a lot of business over the weekend! The manager deposited $400 from cash sales into the store's bank account Monday morning. Monday afternoon, he withdrew $115 from the account to pay for some ads in the newspaper.

Question

What was the total change in the store's account relative to where it started?

Answer 1

To calculate the total change in the store's account, we need to consider both the deposit and the withdrawal.

1. The manager deposited $400 into the account.
2. The manager withdrew $115 from the account.

Now, we can calculate the total change:

Total change = Deposit - Withdrawal Total change = $400 - $115 Total change = $285

Therefore, the total change in the store's account relative to where it started is $285.
