balance at beginning of the month = 210
\n" ); document.write( "deposit 80; balance = 290
\n" ); document.write( "check for 120; balance = 170
\n" ); document.write( "deposit 25; balance = 195
\n" ); document.write( "check for 60 and 32; balance = 103
\n" ); document.write( "monthly service charge of 5; balance = 98\r
