To find the balance in Natalie's checking account, we need to account for the missing deposit in her bank statement. Here are the steps:
1. Identify the amount of the missing deposit: The deposit amount missing from Natalie's statement is [tex]$75.00.
2. Check the current balance without the missing deposit: Natalie’s current balance in her bank statement, excluding the missing deposit, is $[/tex]5.30.
3. Add the missing deposit to the current balance: To find the correct balance that should be in Natalie's checking account, we add the missing deposit to the balance without the deposit.
[tex]\[
5.30 + 75.00 = 80.30

Therefore, the balance in Natalie's checking account, when including the missing deposit, is [tex]$80.30.
So, the correct answer is:
