Look at the table below showing an example of a checkbook ledger. Malcolm has several receipts from recent transactions that he
entered in his records. The receipts include an ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit, a grocery store receipt for $25.50, and a paycheck deposit slip for $650.00. When he finishes entering his transactions, Malcolm realizes that his balance is incorrect. Assuming that Malcolm had no beginning balance, what should his correct balance be? $624.50 $704.50 $755.50 $784.50
Starting with a $0 balance, we have: $0.00 + $80.00 = $80.00 After the grocery store: $80.00 - $25.50 = $54.50 After the paycheck deposit: $54.50 + $650.00 = $704.50 total balance.
