Shelly Slowpoke was determined to be the first turtle to rocket into the far reaches of deep space. Of course, such a challenge took a big toll on her finances. She began the task of trying to reach her goal with exactly $25,120.86 in her Tortoise Bank checking account. Then, she had the following debits and credits over the course of the week:

1. Ordered $1,385.32 in custom parts from Big Al’s Jetpack Supply. Shipping = $197.12.

2. Received the wrong rocket booster engine. Returned it for a $519.18 refund.

3. After haggling, Big Al’s agreed to refund 50% of the shipping cost for the mistaken order.

4. Won a first place prize of $4,180.52 for besting a boastful rabbit in a foot race.

5. Purchased a Blast Factor rocket engine locally for $750.50 + 6% sales tax.

6. Paid $988.88 to have a protective, fire-resistant coating painted on her skin and shell.

7. Took three days of jetpack flying lessons at a rate of $145.95 per day.

8. A Total Turtle Life Insurance policy, covering space-related death, cost $2,301.07.

9. Bought a map of the galaxy for $14.98 and a new pair of goggles for $34.65.

10. Took delivery of fourteen-and-a-half gallons of jet fuel, at a price of $237.98 per gallon.
