So you have this total, $\large\rm 3420.00$
and this check is still outstanding, $\large\rm 516.88$.

So to reconcile the balance, you'll need to start by taking that amount out of the total.$$\large\rm 3420.00-516.88$$Understand?
That doesn't finish balancing it, there are other amounts that need to either be added or removed from the total.

But does that give you an idea of what's going on?

2,903.12. I don't understand what to do next. do I have to do something with the 453.13?

zepdrix · Answer

Yes, you have to either subtract it or add it to the total to fix the balance.

zepdrix · Answer

You have to pay attention to the little key words they're giving you.

zepdrix · Answer

`outstanding` means it's an amount that needs to be paid still (subtracted).
`deposit` is an amount that needs to be added.
`charges` need to be subtracted as well.
`returned check` needs to be added to the total.

zepdrix · Answer

Hmm I dunno :(
Maybe I misunderstanding some of these fancy business words.
I'm not sure what NSF stands for...
