5) Amanda’s bank account has a balance of $928.16.  She deposits a check for $412.83 and then uses her bank card to pay for a $17.22 lunch, get $36.59 worth of gas and buy a new pair of shoes for $67.90.  How much money does she have in the bank account at the end of the day?

1. $393.62
2. $1,219.28
3. $1,355.08
4. $1,462.70

Solving this question is requires using addition and subtraction. Start with the starting balance, add the deposit, and subtract the expenditures. $928.16+$412.83 =$1,340.99.  Now subtract the following from the new balance: $1,340.99- $17.22-$36.59-$67.90=$1,219.28.
