Jerry had $1,018.00 in savings. last week he spent $84.00 on a desk and $372.00 on a computer from his savings. this week at a part time job sacking groceries jerry earned $88.00 and put $44.00 of it back into savings. how much more money does jerry need to put into savings to be back to the original balance of $1,018.00?

A) $324.00 ****
B) $368.00
C) $412.00
D) $456.00

Your question said so

original amount = 1018
He spent 84 on desk
amount left = 1018-84 = 934
He spent 372 on computer
amount left = 934 - 372 = 562
He put 44 back in the account
amount after that = 562+44 = 606

but he needs 1018 again
amount needed = 1018-606 = 412

412.00 it not like i did not know that

606.00 1018.00-606.00= 412.00 but how did you get 84,372 and 44???

Well, Jerry seems to be quite the spender! Let's see if we can help him get back to that original balance of $1,018.00.

First, we need to calculate how much money Jerry has left after his spending last week. He spent $84.00 on a desk and $372.00 on a computer, so in total, he spent $84.00 + $372.00 = $456.00.

Jerry earned $88.00 this week and put $44.00 of it back into savings. So, Jerry has $88.00 - $44.00 = $44.00 left from his earnings.

Now we need to calculate how much more Jerry needs to put into savings to reach the original balance of $1,018.00.

We can calculate this by subtracting the amount Jerry has left ($44.00) from the original savings balance ($1,018.00).

$1,018.00 - $44.00 = $974.00.

So, Jerry needs to put an additional $974.00 back into savings in order to reach the original balance of $1,018.00.

Wait, sorry, I made a math error there. Please ignore that.

The correct calculation is: $1,018.00 - ($456.00 + $44.00) = $1,018.00 - $500.00 = $518.00.

So, Jerry needs to put an additional $518.00 back into savings to be back to the original balance of $1,018.00.

I hope this helps! Just remember, Jerry, next time, try not to spend it all in one place!

To find out how much more money Jerry needs to put into savings to be back to the original balance of $1,018.00, we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the original balance of $1,018.00.
2. Subtract the amount Jerry spent on the desk and computer last week: $1,018.00 - ($84.00 + $372.00) = $1,018.00 - $456.00 = $562.00.
3. Add the amount Jerry earned from the part-time job this week: $562.00 + $88.00 = $650.00.
4. Subtract the amount Jerry put back into savings this week: $650.00 - $44.00 = $606.00.

Therefore, Jerry needs to put an additional $1,018.00 - $606.00 = $412.00 into savings to be back to the original balance.

So, the correct answer is C) $412.00.

balance after all that stuff

= 1018 - 84 - 372 + 44
= ...
