<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

$WatchCost=StartingBalance-EndingBalance\\\\WatchCost=515.50-496.11=19.39$

The cost of the watch is $19.39.

To solve the problem, we can create a linear equation using the given information about the starting balance and the ending balance.

We know that the starting balance was $515.50, and then, after writing a check to buy the watch, the balance was $496.11, so, writing the function we have:

$WatchCost=StartingBalance-EndingBalance\\\\WatchCost=515.50-496.11=19.39$

Hence, we have that the cost of the watch is $19.39.

Have a nice day!
