Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

His balance was $257.88. He paid 1/2 of the balance. It means that the amount that he paid is

257.88/2 = $128.94

His balance would be

257.88 - 128.94 = $128.94

Then, he charged $54.17 to his credit account. It means that the balance would be

128.94 + 54.17 = $183.11

He returned a $25 shirt and the store returned that money to his credit card. It means that his balance now is

183.11 - 25 = $158.11
