penelope has $1,459.75 in her bank account. to pay her bills, she writes 4 checks for $200.25, $359.45, $125, and $299.35. then she deposits $375 into her account.
penelope’s account balance after she pays her bills and makes the deposit is $

First, we calculate to amount of 4 checks she wrote by adding them all up.
                    total amount of check = 200.25 + 359.45 + 125 + 299.35
                                                           = 984.05
Then, subtracting this value from the original amount in her bank account.
                                = 1,459.75 - 984.05
                                = 457.7
Then, after depositing an additional amount, her new balance is,
                    new balance  = 457.7 + 375
                                             = $850.7
Thus, her bank account will have a new balance of $850.7.
