the december 31 checkbook balance of the advance co. was $5,691.99. the ending bank statement balance was $4,890.18. checks in the amount of $691.50 were outstanding. the statement failed to reflect a deposit in the amount of $1,433.84. the monthly service charge was $37.65. the bank paid interest on their average balance in the amount of $30.79. it was discovered that the bookkeeper had failed to record a check in the amount of $52.61. the reconciled balance was

$5,632.52

Step-by-step explanation:

BANK STATEMENT:

$4,890.18 - $691.50 +$1,433.84 = $5,632.52

CHECKING REGISTRY:

$5961.99 - $39.65 + $30.79 - $52.61 = $5632.52

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
