Sam withdrew $180 from his bank account to cover oven repairs then he deposited $430 what is the total change in the bank account relative where it started

1 answer

To find the total change in Sam's bank account, we can calculate the net change by subtracting the amount withdrawn from the amount deposited.

  1. Sam withdrew $180, which is a negative change in his account.
  2. He then deposited $430, which is a positive change in his account.

Now, we calculate the total change:

\[ \text{Total change} = \text{Amount deposited} - \text{Amount withdrawn} \] \[ \text{Total change} = 430 - 180 = 250 \]

So, the total change in Sam's bank account is $250.
