To find Alison Romike's account balance at the end of August, we start with her initial balance and then account for the checks and deposits she made during the month.

  1. Starting Balance: $877.78

  2. Total Checks:

    • Check 1: $35.59
    • Check 2: $26.96
    • Check 3: $6.01

    Total checks = $35.59 + $26.96 + $6.01 = $68.56

  3. Total Deposits:

    • Deposit 1: $84.28
    • Deposit 2: $123.72

    Total deposits = $84.28 + $123.72 = $208.00

  4. Ending Balance Calculation: \[ \text{Ending Balance} = \text{Starting Balance} - \text{Total Checks} + \text{Total Deposits} \] \[ \text{Ending Balance} = 877.78 - 68.56 + 208.00 \] \[ \text{Ending Balance} = 877.78 - 68.56 + 208.00 = 1017.22 \]

Alison's account balance at the end of August is $1017.22.
