balance at beginning of the month = 210
deposit 80; balance = 290
check for 120; balance = 170
deposit 25; balance = 195
check for 60 and 32; balance = 103
monthly service charge of 5; balance = 98

you can construct the number line, but referencing it later would not provide useful information as it would just be numbers on the line with no additional intelligence to say when each number occurred and which number if came from, unless you placed that additional information when you created the point.
