Answer 2

Answer:

The new credit card balance is $88

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance of a credit card is what we owe to the credit card company.  

Therefore to get the new balance we start with the given previous balance of  $186 and then we add to it the value of items you purchased (Books: $174, CDs: $35, shoes $99)  and then you subtract the payment of $406 that you did to the company:

$\ 186+\ 174+\ 35+\ 99-\ 406=\ 88$

Therefore, you now owe to the credit card company $88 that is the new balance.
