Question

Jose Rodriguez's checking account had a starting balance of $1,234.56. He wrote a check for $115.12 for plumbing supplies and a check for $225.00 for a loan payment. Yesterday he deposited $96.75 in his checking account. What is Jose's current balance? A. $1,441.19 B. $1,477.93 C. $894.44 D. $991.19

Answer 1

First subtract the amount-withdrawals from the opening balance to get
1,234.56−(115.12+225)=894.44

After that add the amount deposited to get
894.44+96.75=991.19

So it's D

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

D. $991.19

Explanation:

He starts with $1,234.56 in his account. He has to pay for plumbing supplies, so he writes a check for $115.12 and we have to subtract that amount from his account.

Now he has $1,234.56 - $115.12 = $1,119.44

After that, he has to pay a loan so he writes a check for $225.00.

Now he has $1,119.44 - $225.00 = $894.44

Finally, he deposits $96.75 in his account, so we have to add that amount to the amount he had before.

That's $894.44 + $96.75 = $991.19
