$88.16

88.16

Answer 2

Fernando's account balance is $88.16.

Explanation:

We can calculate the balance in Fernando's account now by subtracting the amount of the two checks from his starting balance:

Starting balance: $132.78

Check 1: $22.31

Check 2: $22.31Now

`\sf New\; balance: \$132.78 - \$22.31 - \$22.31 = \$88.16`

Therefore, Fernando's account balance is $88.16.
