Explanation

Start with Richard’s 02/19 balance of $944.88. Subtract the $455.00 rent check, add the two $390.36 payroll deposits, and subtract the $9.20 restaurant purchase and $251.59 car payment: $944.88 − $455.00 + $390.36 − $9.20 − $251.59 + $390.36 = $1,009.81. The ending balance is $1,009.81, choice B.
