7 0

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 1820 was inspired by "A real Hessian soldier decapitated by a cannonball at the Battle of White Plains around Halloween in 1776."

Irving wrote a legend while living in England. Some scholars suggest that Irving's story may have been inspired by the folk tales he heard abroad. German, English and Scandinavian folk tales of headless knights chasing unhappy travelers have been told for generations.

The lesson of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is to keep superstitions from shaking you and overwhelming your reason.

The moral of the story is a small town, and the romantic competition between local bullies and school teachers culminates in horrifying night rides. In a small town called Sleepy Hollow, a skinny school teacher named Ichabod Crane comes to town.

Mike went to the ATM to take out $20 for the movies. Later in the day, he transferred $36 to his checking account
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The letter A represents where the amount of $20 should be written.

The letter D represents where the amount of $36 should be written.

The ending balance, E, is $154.85.

Mike withdrew $20 at an ATM, so A, which is in the "ATM Withdrawal Debit" box, is $20.

Mike later transferred $36 to his checking account. Transferring means moving away to another place, so that $36 is represented by D, which is in the "Transfer From Savings Deposit" box.

Now, Mike withdrew $20 (-20) and transferred in $36 (36). According to the balance from 3/16, he had $138.85. $138.85 - $20 + $36 = $154.85.

Hope this helped!
