Mary palm's checking account had a starting balance of $785.63. she wrote a check for $57.00 for groceries and a check for $125.00 for a car payment. yesterday she deposited $57.25 in her checking account. what is mary's current balance?

a. $603.63
b. $660.88
c. $554.26
d. $796.38

The check for groceries means she spent money, so this means it's subtracted (-57.00)

The check for the car payment means she spent money, so this too is subtracted (-125.00)

Depositing money means she added money to the account (+57.25)

The equation is:
785.63 - 57.00 - 125.00 +57.25 = $660.88

The answer is:
B. $660.88
