STEP 1

Assumptions1.essa starts with $90 in her checking account.
. She pays a cable/internet bill of $75.
3. She deposits $50 from her part-time job.
4. She writes a check for $80 to pay her credit card bill.
5. All transactions are successful and there are no additional fees or charges.

STEP 2

We start with the initial amount inessa's checking account.
Initial\, amount = \($\)90

STEP 3

Subtract the amountessa paid for her cable/internet bill from the initial amount.
Aftercable/internetbill=InitialamountCable/internetbillAfter\, cable/internet\, bill = Initial\, amount - Cable/internet\, bill

STEP 4

Plug in the values for the initial amount and the cable/internet bill to calculate the amount left after paying the bill.
After\, cable/internet\, bill = \($\)90 - \($\)75

STEP 5

Calculate the amount left after paying the cable/internet bill.
After\, cable/internet\, bill = \($\)90 - \($\)75 = \($\)15

STEP 6

Add the amountessa deposited from her part-time job to the amount left after paying the cable/internet bill.
Afterdeposit=Aftercable/internetbill+DepositAfter\, deposit = After\, cable/internet\, bill + Deposit

STEP 7

Plug in the values for the amount left after paying the cable/internet bill and the deposit to calculate the amount left after the deposit.
After\, deposit = \($\)15 + \($\)50

STEP 8

Calculate the amount left after the deposit.
After\, deposit = \($\)15 + \($\)50 = \($\)65

STEP 9

Subtract the amountessa paid for her credit card bill from the amount left after the deposit.
Finalbalance=AfterdepositCreditcardbillFinal\, balance = After\, deposit - Credit\, card\, bill

STEP 10

Plug in the values for the amount left after the deposit and the credit card bill to calculate the final balance.
Final\, balance = \($\)65 - \($\)80
