At the end of the two weeks he would have $81. Because

81+20+22+13+39+34+15+31=255

Marco's starting balance would then be A. $255

A. 255

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expenses are

T-shirt = $20, Gas = $22, Movie = $13, Video game = $39, Jeans = $34, Hat = $15, Books = $31 .

Total expenses = 20+22+13+39+34+15+31 = $174

Marco’s ending balance = $81

Marco’s ending balance = Marco’s Starting balance - Total expenses

81 = Marco’s Starting balance - 174

Add 174 on both sides.

81 +174 = Marco’s Starting balance

255 = Marco’s Starting balance

Marco’s Starting balance is $255.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
