The table shows the total amount Thor spent over the past 2 weeks.
The total amount Thor spent can be gotten by adding the costs of all the transactions he made over the period.
Amount Spent:
[tex]TC=25+35+55+15+13=143[/tex]
The starting balance can be calculated as:
[tex]SB=TC+EB[/tex]
where
[tex]\begin{gathered} SB=\text{ Starting Balance} \\ TC=\text{ Transaction Costs} \\ EB=\text{ Ending Balance} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Since the ending balance is given to be $86, we can calculate the starting balance to be:
[tex]SB=143+86=229[/tex]
Thor's starting balance is $229.
