1 answer

To calculate Alison's account balance at the end of August, we can start with her initial balance and then adjust it for the checks (withdrawals) and deposits.

  1. Initial Balance: $927.58

  2. Total Checks (Withdrawals):

    • $36.64
    • $24.72
    • $5.59
    • Total Checks: \( 36.64 + 24.72 + 5.59 = 66.95 \)
  3. Total Deposits:

    • $80.55
    • $124.02
    • Total Deposits: \( 80.55 + 124.02 = 204.57 \)
  4. Ending Balance Calculation: \[ \text{Ending Balance} = \text{Initial Balance} - \text{Total Checks} + \text{Total Deposits} \] \[ \text{Ending Balance} = 927.58 - 66.95 + 204.57 \] \[ \text{Ending Balance} = 927.58 - 66.95 = 860.63 \] \[ \text{Ending Balance} = 860.63 + 204.57 = 1065.20 \]

So, Alison's account balance at the end of August is $1065.20.
