Answer 1

Answer:

The current balance of Carl's checking account is $1034.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Opening balance = $437.55

Paycheck received = $687.22

Monthly service fee = $ 15

Used a debit card linked to his account to make a purchase of = $62.11

Wrote a check for = $88.14

Deposited a check for = $75.00

To know the current balance of Carl's account, we will add up all the receivables and subtract all the spending.

$(437.55+687.22+75)-(15+62.11+88.14)$

$1199.77-165.25=1034.52$

Therefore, the current balance of Carl's checking account is $1034.52
