Incomplete question. The full question read;
Malcolm has several receipts from recent transactions that he entered into his records. The receipts include an ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit, a grocery store receipt for $25.50, and a paycheck deposit slip for $650.00.
When he finishes entering his transactions, Malcolm realizes that his balance is incorrect. Assuming that Malcolm had no beginning balance, what should his correct balance be?
Answer:
$704.50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to note which transactions are credit transactions, and which is a debit transaction. Remember, a credit transaction basically means a transaction that brings money into your account, while the latter is a transaction that takes money out of your account.
Malcolm's credit transactions:
- ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit
- paycheck deposit slip for $650.00
Total: $730.
Malcolm's debit transactions:
- grocery store receipt for $25.50
Total: $25.50
Substracting total debit transactions from credit transactions, Malcolm's correct balance would be = $704.50 ($730-$25.50).
