Explanataion: 

Since Alma was given a money and withdrawn the same amount, that means that there is no change in the original balance since the same amount of money is withdrawn. Hence, the change in balance was only seen during the 5th month to the 13th month. On the 5th month she has $442, and on the 13th month she has $226 left on her account. In order to determine how much money was withdrawn, we simply subtract the balance during the 5th month with the balance during the 13th month.

= $442 - $226

Balance Withdrawn =$216

Final answer:

Balance Withdrawn =$216
