a positive gain of 54 dollars.

Explanation:

The deposit is a positive gain of 240. The withdrawal and the check take money out of the account and are negative. To find the net change in Lennon's account subtract the withdrawal and the check which are negative from the deposit which is positive.

# 240 - ( 130 + 56)# which is the same as

# 240 - 186 = 54#
