Wilhelmina wrote a check for $72 to pay her monthly Internet bill, but when

balancing her checkbook, she accidentally recorded it as a credit rather than

as a debit. How will her check register compare to her monthly bank

statement when she receives it?

her bank statement will show that she has $144 less than her checkbook balance

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of money in the bank before writing the check be x

after writing the check for $72, because she accidentally recorded this as a credit, here checkbook will reflect a balance of : $ (x + 72)

However, the bank correctly records the debit of the $72, resulting a balance of: $ (x-72)

Hence compared to her checkbook, the bank records will show an amount difference of:

(x-72) - (x + 72)

= x - 72 - x - 72

= - 144

i. e her bank statement will show that she has $144 less than her checkbook balance

The balance in her check register will be $144 over the balance on her bank statement.
