Question

Since September, Mrs. Bishop has written a check for $178.23 and made a deposit of $363.82. Her balance was $660.00. Which amount should Mrs. Bishop's checkbook balance show now

Answer 1

Writing checks lowers your balance and depositing raises it.

$363.82 - $178.23 = $185.59
Her deposit - the check = net addition to her account

$660 + $185.59 = $785.59
