Answer:
P1,315
Step-by-step explanation:
Danilo has P16,240 in his account.
When he wrote the checks, the money decreases by the said amount.
P16,240 - P3,500 - P9,720 - P5,175 = -P2,185
His check account have been overdrawn by P2,185.
He made a deposit of P6,000, so add that to his current balance.
P6,000 + (-2,185) = P3,815
Since his account was overdrawn, there was a P2,500 service charge. Take it out from his balance.
P3,815 - P,2500 = P1,315
Therefore, his balance by the end of the month is P1,315
