I had to make journal entries from an excerpt in my accounting book. It gives a hint and states that the total of the credit column is $49,825. When I added and subtracted my credit entries I did not come up with the same dollar amount. I asked the teacher at the end of class today if he could help me but he didn't have much time. All he offered me was a glance at my entries and said it looks like I'm on the right track, but didn't tell me what I was doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :]

Here's the excerpt(I put my journal entries after each one):
