Question

Rachel is looking at her bank statement.

DateDescriptionDebit ($)Credit ($)Balance ($)
Opening Balance				372.73
12 Oct	CHQ 7743 Hair	43.75
15 Oct	DD Telephone	28.67
23 Oct	CHQ 1275		12.49
Closing Balance

 

Estimate the closing balance of Rachel's account:  $

(Round each figure to the nearest 10 dollars before estimating)

Answer 1

373- 44-29-12 = 373-73-12 = 300-12

= $288 = ending/closing balance, approximately, after rounding

actual exact closing balance = $288.82

unless the check for $12.49 was a deposit and not a payment, then

add 12 instead of subtract 12, which gives

$312, not 288

and exact closing would be $313.80

given the 12.49 entry is in a different column it's probably a credit, not a debit

so go with $312
