Answer 1

Complete question :

At the start of the week, Ladasha’s checking account had a balance of $34. She deposited $50 each day for three days. She made a $60 withdrawal on the fourth day. Ladasha also wrote a check for $22. Explain how you can write an expression to show the account balance at the end of the week.

Answer:

$34 + (3 * $50) - $60 - $22

Explanation:

Given the following :

Account balance = $34

Deposit made = $50 (for 3 days)

Withdrawal made = $60 ( on the 4th day)

Check written = $22

Account balance : $34

Add: Deposit : $50 * 3 [for three days]

Subtract : Withdrawal : $60

Subtract : Check : $22

Therefore,

$34 + (3 * $50) - $60 - $22
