1. **State the problem:** You have a bank statement balance of $289.37, but your account register shows $362.41. All checks are accounted for, but a deposit is missing. We need to find the amount of the missing deposit. 2. **Formula and explanation:** The relationship between the balances is: $$\text{Register balance} = \text{Bank statement balance} + \text{Missing deposit}$$ 3. **Set up the equation:** $$362.41 = 289.37 + x$$ where $x$ is the missing deposit. 4. **Solve for $x$:** $$x = 362.41 - 289.37$$ 5. **Calculate the difference:** $$x = 73.04$$ 6. **Interpretation:** The missing deposit amount is $73.04$. **Final answer:** $$\boxed{73.04}$$
