A check drawn by a depositor in payment of a voucher for $725 was recorded in the journal as $257; what entry is required?

The original entry was:
Debit Cash for 257
Credit Assounts Receivable for 257
You need to do an entry so the correct amounts are $725 so you need to do another journal entry for the difference between $257 and $725 for the cash received and the account that was paid by a customer, which is Accounts Receivable account.
