Answer key — Keeping a Check Register

Set 13. Prints on its own sheet.

  1. 1.1. $250 + $300 = $550; $550 − $400 = $150. 2. The grocery store, $65. 3. No: $250 + $300 = $550; $550 − $400 = $150; $150 − $65 = $85. That is less than $200.
  2. 2.1. $35. 2. $120 − $45 = $75. 3. Her check to the dentist was for more than her balance.
