First month account balance changed = $55.

Next month account balance changed = $67.

We can clearly see that $67 is the larger amount than $55.

In order to find, how much more amount is in second month, we could find the difference of those amounts of each month.

Second month balance changed - First month account balance changed.

$67 - $55 = $12.

So, we can say that first month account balance changed represents the $12 lesser change by second month.
