Sally goes to the bank to make a deposit of $80.50. Instead of recording the transaction as a deposit, the teller records it as a withdrawl. Her printed receipt says she now (incorrectly) has a balance of 350.67. What should her balance be? What steps do you do to correct the balance? Has the previous deposit/with-drawl problem ever happened to you?

To get her balance you add $80.50 to get the previous balance the add it again to get her new balance which would be $511.67. This problem hasn't happened to me.

350.67+80.50+80.5=$511.67
