$5900.60

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply need to add the deposits to her initial balance and subtract the purchases from her initial balances.

Her initial balance was $5,850.25.

She deposited a check for $45.00 and a check for $55.50.

Her new balance is:

5850.25 + 45.00 + 55.50 = $5950.75

Edith then purchased a new rake for $32.65 and spent $17.50 on gas for the lawn mower.

Her new balance is:

5950.75 - (32.65 + 17.50)

5950.75 - 32.65 - 17.50 = $5900.60

The new balance is $5900.60
