Question

At the end of the month mr copley has $1473.61 in is checking account his checkbook showed the following transaction if made made an initial deposit of $75 that is not shown in his checkbook what was his balance at the beginning of the month

Answer 1

Total balance in Mr. Copley at the end of the month = $1473.61.

Initial deposite =  $75 (not shown in his checkbook).

Let us assume his balance at the beginning of the month = x.

Total balance at the end of the month = The balance at the beginning of the month + total deposite.

$1473.61 = x + 75.

Subtracting 75 from both sides, we get

1473.61 -75 = x + 75 -75.

1398.61 = x.

Therefore, his balance at the beginning of the month was $1398.61.
