Marcelo had $49.13 in his bank account. He paid two fees of $32.50 each, and then he made two deposits of $74.25 each.

Part A

Which expression represents the situation?
	49.13 – 32.50 + 74.25
	49.13 + 2(32.50) – 2(74.25)
	49.13 – 2(32.50) + 2(74.25)
	49.13 + 2(32.50 – 74.25)
Part B

What is the balance in dollars in Marcelo’s account now?

Select the correct answer.
	$90.88
	$58.38
	$165.13
	$132.63


To solve this, let's break down each part of the problem and analyze which expression fits Marcelo’s actions.

### Part A

1. **Starting balance:** Marcelo began with $49.13.
2. **Fees:** He paid two fees of $32.50 each, which totals to $ 2 \times 32.50 = 65.00 $.
3. **Deposits:** He made two deposits of $74.25 each, which totals to $ 2 \times 74.25 = 148.50 $.

The expression that represents these transactions is:
\[
49.13 - 2(32.50) + 2(74.25)
\]
This expression correctly accounts for subtracting two fees and adding two deposits. Therefore, the correct answer for Part A is:
\[
\text{49.13 – 2(32.50) + 2(74.25)}
\]

### Part B

Now, let's calculate Marcelo's final balance.

1. **Starting balance:** 49.13
2. **Total fees:** 65.00
3. **Total deposits:** 148.50

So, the calculation is:
\[
49.13 - 65.00 + 148.50 = 132.63
\]

The correct answer for Part B is:
\[
\text{\$132.63}
\]
