Let's walk through the provided transactions step by step to determine what Malcolm’s correct balance should be, given that he started with a beginning balance of [tex]$0.00. 1. First Transaction: ATM Deposit - Description: ATM deposit - Amount Credited: $[/tex]80.00
- Malcolm’s balance after this transaction: [tex]$0.00 (initial balance) + $[/tex]80.00 = [tex]$80.00 2. Second Transaction: Grocery Debit - Description: Grocery - Amount Debited: -$[/tex]25.50
- Malcolm’s balance after this transaction: [tex]$80.00 - $[/tex]25.50 = [tex]$54.50 3. Third Transaction: Paycheck Deposit - Description: Paycheck - Amount Credited: $[/tex]650.00
- Malcolm’s balance after this transaction: [tex]$54.50 + $[/tex]650.00 = [tex]$704.50 Thus, the correct balance should be $[/tex]704.50.

Therefore, among the given options, Malcolm's correct balance should be:
- [tex]$\$[/tex] 624.50[tex]$ - $[/tex]\[tex]$ 704.50$[/tex]
- [tex]$\$[/tex] 755.50[tex]$ - $[/tex]\[tex]$ 784.50$[/tex]

The correct balance is:
[tex]$\$[/tex] 704.50$
