    First you start with your book balance and your bank balance. You need to get these two balances into agreement by either adding or subtracting from one or the other balance for each item.

    #1 is already in your book balance so you need to subtract this amount from your bank balance.

    #2 you already recorded these in your book balance so you need to add this to your bank balance.

    #3 This is on the bank statement so you need to subtract this from your book balance.

    #4 This is on the bank statement so you need to add this to your book balance.

    #5 This is on the bank statement so you need to subtract this from your book balance.

    #6 This is on the bank balance so you need to add this to your book balance.

    Now total your balances and they should both equal $3,560
