Answer :

Given the details of Eliza Savage's bank statement and checkbook:

1. Bank Balance on January 18: [tex]$324.18 2. Checkbook Balance on January 29: $[/tex]487.38
3. Three checks which amounts are: [tex]$15.00, $[/tex]77.49, [tex]$124.22 Let's calculate how much Eliza deposited between January 18 and January 29. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. Calculate the total amount of the three checks: \[ \text{Total Checks} = 15.00 + 77.49 + 124.22 = 216.71 \] 2. Subtract the total amount of the checks from the bank balance on January 18 to find the adjusted balance: \[ \text{Adjusted Balance} = 324.18 - 216.71 = 107.47 \] 3. The difference between the checkbook balance on January 29 and the adjusted balance will give us the amount deposited: \[ \text{Deposit} = 487.38 - 107.47 = 379.91 \] ### Conclusion: Eliza deposited approximately $[/tex]379.91 between January 18 and January 29.

Since one of the multiple-choice answers is very close to this result, the correct answer from the given choices is:

D. 379.97

Therefore, Eliza deposited $379.97 in her account during that period.
