Answer:
$48.88 in her savings account and $244.38 is what she has left after the book and adding to her savings account
Step-by-step explanation:
her first mistake is she could have simplified it so she would divide the answer after adding $263.25 and $46.25 and also subtracting $16.25 she could have divided by six and got the answer to how much she put in the savings account and then multiplied $48.88 by five to get the amount after her adding to her savings account.
I hope this helps if not sorry
