$50,000

Explanation:

Given the following information for Sweet Treats Eats

net cash provided by operating activities = $35,000

net cash used by investing activities = $42,000

net cash provided by financing activities = $12,000

ending cash balance = $55,000

Beginning cash balance + $35,000 - $42,000 + $12,000 = $55,000

Beginning cash balance = $55,000 - $35,000 + $42,000 - $12,000

                                         = $50,000

88 because 4 plus 4 equals 8. 40 plus 40 equals 80. 80 plus 8 equals 88
