C. [tex]$\$[/tex] 814.75[tex]$

D. $[/tex]\[tex]$ 1,186.25$[/tex]



Answer :

Sure! Let's go through the checkbook ledger step by step to determine Omar's final bank balance.

1. Initial Balance:
- Starting balance is \[tex]$219.80. 2. Pharmacy: - On 9/15, Omar debits \$[/tex]15.20 for pharmacy.
- New balance = \[tex]$219.80 - \$[/tex]15.20 = \[tex]$204.60. 3. Paycheck: - On 9/16, Omar credits \$[/tex]1,015.50 for a paycheck.
- New balance = \[tex]$204.60 + \$[/tex]1,015.50 = \[tex]$1,220.10. 4. Rent: - On 9/18, Omar debits \$[/tex]425.00 for rent.
- New balance = \[tex]$1,220.10 - \$[/tex]425.00 = \[tex]$795.10. 5. Dinner: - On 9/18, Omar debits \$[/tex]22.30 for dinner.
- New balance = \[tex]$795.10 - \$[/tex]22.30 = \[tex]$772.80. 6. Movie Tickets: - On 9/18, Omar debits \$[/tex]26.75 for movie tickets.
- New balance = \[tex]$772.80 - \$[/tex]26.75 = \[tex]$746.05. Therefore, Omar's final bank balance is \(\$[/tex]746.05\). Since this does not match any of the provided answer choices, it seems there might be a typo or error in the provided answer choices. The correct balance according to the transactions should be [tex]\(\$746.05\)[/tex].
