Answer 1

A. 345.94

Explanation:

You start with $298.72

$298.72

now we add the deposit of $425.69(298.72+425.69)

$724.41

Now we made three purchase of $29.72, $135.47, and $208.28 so we will add those together and subtract them from $724.41 (724.41-(29.72+135.47+208.28))

350.94

Now subtract the $5 bank charge (350.94-5)

345.94 or A.
