124, just times 2 because it said bisect
Answer:
Since we do not know the balance we should start with, a general answer:

598 - 47,27 = 550,73, assuming b_old was 0$ for your example
Step-by-step explanation:
b stands for balance (old - before any deposits or withdrawals, new after all done)
d for deposits
w for withdrawals
Answer:
1.75 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to calculate how far the hike is going up the trail. They first hike 2 miles and then another 1.75 miles after resting so...
2 + 1.75 = 3.75 miles
The trail is 3.75 miles long, the question states that the return path is 0.5 miles shorter, therefore...
3.75 - 0.5 = 3.25 miles
Leaving us with a total hiking distance of
3.75 + 3.25 = 7 miles.
Since each hiker will carry 0.25 gallons for each mile we simply need to multiply this amount by the total number of miles in the hike.
7 * 0.25 = 1.75 gallons
Finally, we can see that each hiker will carry a total of 1.75 gallons of water for the entire hike.
