Please help me i dont understand

At the start of the month, the value of Susan’s checking account was $53. She gets paid $375 per week for 4 weeks and spends $172 on groceries for the month. How much does Susan have in her checking account at the end of the month?

Answer 1

Susan has $1381.

[ 53 + (375x4) ] - 172

Answer 2

$1,381

Because 375×4= 1,500
and 1,500-172= 1,328
lastly, 1,328 + 53= 1,381
