anonymous · Answer

Outstanding checks are checks that have been written, but have not yet cleared the bank on which they were drawn. In the bank reconciliation, outstanding checks are deducted from the balance per bank.

so I subtract them?

anonymous · Answer

I would say subtract $599.43 - $117.54 but that leaves the $235.14 so maybe you add $235.14 and $117.54 and subtract that answer from $599.43
