Answer 1

Answer:

$606.25

Step-by-step explanation:

He deposits (puts) $242.50 in his savings. Then he withdrawls (takes) half his 242.50, which is $121.25. Now he has $121.25 in the bank. Next paycheck, he deposits (puts) twice the original amount of money into his account.

$242.50 multiplied by 2 is $485.

$485 + $121.25 = $606.25

Braylon has $606.25 after his transactions.
