Question

Irene's account has $75 less than it did before on Monday. This is reasonable because she wrote checks for $200 but only deposited $125. Describe a different way to find the change in Irene's account?

Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

Given information :  Irene writes the check of 200 $ . It means the amount is deducted form here account.

Irene deposited 125 $ in her account. Means this amount is added in her account.

Suppose her initial amount in account was x $.

When she writes the check of 200 $, the amount is deducted so new balance is (x - 200) .

When she deposit amount 125 $, it means , the new balance of her account will be: $x - 200 + 125 = x - 75$

Which shows her account is 75 $ less than her previous balance.

Hope it will help :)
