Question

You made two deposits to your bank account this month. One deposit was $24.61, and the second deposit was $16.49. Your balance at the end of the month is $72.31, and you made no withdrawals. Write and evaluate an expression for your balance at the beginning of the month.

Answer 1

Since all you made was two deposits, if you subtract the two deposits from the balance at the end of the month, you'll have the beginning balance.
$72.31 - $24.61 - $16.49
Now evaluate it

Answer 2
