Sagot :

To determine Fiona's new balance after writing a check for \[tex]$89.56 to the veterinarian, we need to start with her initial balance and then subtract the amount of the check. 1. Identify the initial balance: Fiona's initial balance is \$[/tex]2,324.41.

2. Identify the amount of the check:
The check written to the veterinarian is for \[tex]$89.56. 3. Perform the subtraction: \[ \text{New Balance} = \text{Initial Balance} - \text{Check Amount} \] \[ \text{New Balance} = \$[/tex]2,324.41 - \[tex]$89.56 \] 4. Calculate the new balance: By subtracting the check amount from the initial balance, we find: \[ \text{New Balance} = \$[/tex]2,324.41 - \[tex]$89.56 = \$[/tex]2,234.85
\]

Therefore, after recording the transaction of the check written to the veterinarian, Fiona's new balance will be [tex]\(\$2,234.85\)[/tex].
