  1. Answer:

    $1802.47; $1784.47; $1733.20; $2121.83; $2224.59

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Variable x = answer

    Part 1:

    1023.49 + 778.98 = x

    $1802.47 = x

    Part 2:

    1023.49 + 778.98 – 18.00 = x

    1802.47 – 18.00 = x

    $1784.47 = x

    Part 3:

    1023.49 + 778.98 – 18.00 – 51.27 = x

    1802.47 – 18.00 – 51.27 = x

    1784.47 – 51.27 = x

    $1733.20 = x

    Part 4:

    1023.49 + 778.98 – 18.00 – 51.27 + 388.63 = x

    1802.47 – 18.00 – 51.27 + 388.63 = x

    1784.47 – 51.27 + 388.63 = x

    1733.20 + 388.63 = x

    $2121.83 = x

    Part 5:

    1023.49 + 777.98 – 18.00 – 51.27 + 388.63 + 102.76 = x

    1802.47 – 18.00 – 51.27 + 388.63 + 102.76 = x

    1784.47 – 51.27 + 388.63 + 102.76 = x

    1733.20 + 388.63 + 102.76 = x

    2121.83 + 102.76 = x

    $2224.59 = x

    A simpler way to do this is by using the last number and adding or subtracting to that. I showed it this way to give you a better understanding.
