Therefore his new balance=$712.95

Therefore his new balance is = $ 930.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Darnell starts the month $ 952.43 in his checking account.

He buys an iPhone 7 for $ 217.49 with tax included and two kindle books that each $7.99.

The price of two books is = $ (7.99 * 2) = $ 15.98

Total amount that he paid for iPhone 7 and two books is = $ (217.49+15.98)

=$233.47

Therefore his new balance = $ (952.43 - 233.47)

=$712.95

The new iPhone 7 is not as awesome as promised, and Darnell returns it.

He will get the price of iPhone refund.

Therefore his new balance is $ (712.95+217.49)

=$ 930.44
