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.
