Question

On 9/1, you take your paycheck into the bank and decide that you want to open a checking account with $400.00.  The bank gives you some starter checks so you can start using the account until your first order of checks come.

On 9/2, you pay your electric bill of $57.38, using the first starter check.

On 9/8, you use your newly arrived debit card to purchase $33.50 of gas at Gas-mart.

On 9/10, your friend gives you $20 which you deposit into your account.

Please figure out what your balance would be based on the information above.  You MUST show your work to receive partial credit.  I do not need to see a register.  I am looking to make sure you understand how to arrive at the correct balance. Im really thankful for any help.
