Question

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?

Answer 1

Jerry spent a total of $84 + $372 = $<<84+372=456.00>>456.00 from his savings account.

After earning $88.00, Jerry added $44.00 to his savings account as well, so he now has $44.00 + $1,018.00 - $456.00 = $<<44+1018-456=606.00>>606.00 in his savings account.

To return to the original balance of $1,018.00, Jerry needs to put $1,018.00 - $606.00 = $<<1018-606=412.00>>412.00 more into his savings account. Answer: \boxed{412}.
