Wow !!! 
The

Ginny
Czarnomski, president of Welleby Elementary's Parent Teacher Association.
Mister Goodmath sends a big thanks.
This
one's for you second and third graders.
The Czarnomski Family has a checking account with a local Sunrise bank. Mrs. C. has written several checks during the past three days. Check number 100 was in the amount of $85 to Bell South, number 101 for $78 to Publix, number 102 for $25 to Target, and number 103 for $42 to J.C.Pennys. If she started with an opening balance of $300, what was her balance after she wrote the check to J.C. Pennys?
The Solution:
Should you decide to ponder the problem and accept

out
of their bank account.
