(I wasn't sure if you meant two checks for $68.74. So I just used one check for $68.74, one check for $29.95 and a debit for $57.65)
.
This is a subtraction problem. You want to find the difference from the beginning balance of $526 and the ending balance.
.
First subtract each deduction from the total:
$625.00 (Beginning Balance)
-068.74
-029.95
-057.65
_______
468.66 (Ending Balance)

.
.
Next, find the difference between the two balances:
$625.00 (Beginning balance)
-468.66 (Ending balance)
________
$156.34 (Difference or change between the two balances)
