Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Savannah was indebted to her bank of the amount of

$200.

she deposited two checks each $298.40

that is the total amount deposited is $298.40x2= $596.8

(we multiplied by 2 because the question says the checks are two in number and that they are of the same amount)

The balance in her account upon deposit of the two checks is

$596.8- $200 = $396.8

(we subtracted $200 because she is indebted of $200)
