Your question said so

original amount = 1018
He spent 84 on desk
amount left = 1018-84 = 934
He spent 372 on computer
amount left = 934 - 372 = 562
He put 44 back in the account
amount after that = 562+44 = 606

but he needs 1018 again
amount needed = 1018-606 = 412

balance after all that stuff = 1018 - 84 - 372 + 44 = ... how much short of 1018 is that ?
