a. $177.93

b. $168.93

c. $177.48

d. $168.48

Explanation:

Step1: Find the difference between the bank statement balance and the check register balance.

The difference is $1065.27 - $887.79 = $177.48? Wait, no, wait. Wait, actually, the check register balance is after subtracting the checks that have cleared. Wait, let's think again. The bank statement balance is higher, which means one check hasn't cleared (so it hasn't been subtracted from the bank's balance). So the difference between the bank balance and the register balance is the amount of the uncleared check. Wait, no: the register balance is $887.79, which is his balance after subtracting the checks that have cleared. The bank statement balance is $1065.27, which is his balance before subtracting the uncleared check. So the difference between the bank balance and the register balance is the amount of the uncleared check. Wait, let's calculate the total of all four checks: $168.48 + $168.93 + $177.48 + $177.93. Let's add them: 168.48 + 168.93 = 337.41; 177.48 + 1[SSE Completed, Client Connection Error][SSE onError error]
