To determine Omar's bank balance, let's follow each transaction from the table step-by-step.

1. Initial Balance (9/15):
- Initial balance is \[tex]$219.80. 2. Paycheck (9/16): - A paycheck is credited for \$[/tex]1,015.50.
- New balance:
[tex]\[ 219.80 + 1015.50 = 1235.30 \][/tex]

3. Rent (9/18):
- Rent is debited for \[tex]$425.00. - New balance: \[ 1235.30 - 425.00 = 810.30 \] 4. Dinner (9/18): - Dinner is debited for \$[/tex]230.00.
- New balance:
[tex]\[ 810.30 - 230.00 = 580.30 \][/tex]

5. Movie Tickets (9/18):
- Movie tickets are debited for \[tex]$26.75. - Final balance: \[ 580.30 - 26.75 = 553.55 \] Therefore, Omar's bank balance is \$[/tex]553.55, which does not match any of the given options (\[tex]$761.25, \$[/tex]810.30, \[tex]$814.75, \$[/tex]1,186.25).

Without additional context or corrections to the data provided in the table (for example, checking if there's an entry mistake related to the amounts), the accurate calculated balance is \$553.55.
