$
470.99 - $(52.50 + 65.00)= $353.49

Answer: $ 353.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The balance in Don Ramos's account =  $470.99

The amounts on outstanding check =  $52.50 and $65.00

Then , the total outstanding amount =  \(\$52.50+ \$65.00\)

To find Don’s adjusted balance we subtract the total outstanding amount from the balance in monthly bank statement.

Now,  Don’s adjusted balance will be :-

\($470.99-\$117.00=\$353.99\)

Hence, Don’s adjusted balance =  $ 353.99
