Accounts payable had a balance of 4 ,700 at the beginning of the month.
00:07
Let's make a t account.
00:11
Accounts payable has a normal credit balance, and they had 6 ,800 at the end of the month.
00:19
During the month, purchases on account amounted to 11 ,200.
00:24
How much did we pay to our suppliers, which would have decreased our accounts in order to end up at this balance? simple math equation here.
00:37
Add the amounts on the right, subtract x on the left to get to my balance.
00:45
The subtraction would be our payments to the customers.
00:49
Let's simplify these values first.
00:52
I get 15 ,900 minus x.
00:58
I'm going to add x over to make it positive, and then i'm going to subtract the 6800 from both sides.
01:10
That tells me that my payments to customers were 9 ,100...
