Lexi runs the snack stand at Belleview Community Pool. This morning, she withdrew $150 from the stand's bank account to buy supplies. When the stand closed this evening, she deposited $437 from the day's sales.

Question

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

Answer 1

To determine the total change in the stand's bank account, we need to consider both the amount withdrawn and the amount deposited.

1. Lexi withdrew $150 from the account, which is a negative change: \[ -150 \]

2. Lexi deposited $437 into the account, which is a positive change: \[ +437 \]

Now, we combine these two amounts to find the total change: \[ \text{Total Change} = -150 + 437 \]

Calculating that gives: \[ -150 + 437 = 287 \]

Thus, the total change in the stand's bank account relative to where it started is \(\boxed{287}\) dollars.
