Question

Rohan deposited ₹ $5320$ in his account on Monday and withdrew ₹ $3895$ on Tuesday. Next day he again deposited ₹ $1283$. What was his balance on Wednesday?

Answer 1

Step 1 : Let's assign signs to given values

Amount deposited by Rohan can be taken as ₹$+5320$.

So, his withdrawal on Monday is ₹$-3895$.

On next day, he again deposited , which is taken as ₹$+1283$.

So, overall balance on Wednesday is the sum of all transactions he made during these days.

i.e.,

$(+5320)+(-3895)+1283$

Step 2 : let's add the first two values.

$(+5320)+(-3895)$

Since the given numbers are of like unlike signs, let's subtract the absolute values directly and give the sign of the largest absolute value for the result.

$+5320+(-3895)=+1425$

Step 3 : Let's add $+1283$ to the result.

Since the given numbers are of like signs, let's add the absolute values directly and give the common sign for the result.

i.e.,

$1425+1283=+2708$

Hence, his balance on Wednesday is $Rs.2708$
